The person I admire The person that I admire most is the scientist Stephen William Hawking. He was born on 8th January 1942, in Oxford, England. Stephen is famous for his work on the basic laws of the universe. He is also famous for the way he coped with having Motor Neuron Disease (MND). Stephen slowly lost control of his muscles and eventually he couldn't walk. Despite this, he finished his studies, got married and started a career at the university. The reason I admire him is because he was very intelligent and brave, and he never gave up on life. When I think of him, I know that anything is possible as long as you really want it and work hard to achieve it.
