In reading this article I have been learning to combine close reading and inference skills to analyse text to learn more about the qualities of people known as heroes or leaders.
Sir Edmund Hillary was a man with determination and was most definitely a high achiever. As you should already know he was the first person to ever reach the top of Mount Everest with his companion Tenzing Norgay. Edmund Hillary has his face on the New Zealand 5 dollar note and was knighted by the Queen for his bravery and achievement.
He was an advocate for the people including the children of Nepal. This was shown when he spoke out to inform and encourage people around the world to help financially to build schools, hospitals, clinics, an airfield and bridges, to improve the standard of living for the people. He founded the Himalayan Trust which became a charity foundation to help support the needs of the people. He can be described as an inspiration.
He believed in helping those in need. He used his fame to get financial support for the needs he had seen for the people of Nepal. He believed his idea of: creating the Himalayan Trust would last a long time and would continue on helping people in the near and far future.
Although famous worldwide, he remained a humble man, who encouraged others to reach out and help when and where they could.
Fantastic work Isaac. I am very impressed, as will be your readers. Well done, Keep it up!
