a causal inside my school at liberty
gardens there’s a there are lots of many
famous people these people include
Nelson Mandela nelson mandela was a
great person because he oppressed those
people who were mean to his race but by
me I mean discriminating next let’s go
to the Albert Einstein Albert Einstein
was a person who is very curious and
Britain let this curiosity led to be
making many scientific discovery I want
to be curious just like him Teresa
mother Teresa was a person who went to
India to help the poor and be
compassionate to the court must provides
me that I need to be compassionate to
everybody I know that’s my favorite
Mohandas Gandhi Gandhi was a spiritual
leader to leader for Great Britain he
believed that courage with what you need
to attack and courage is also what you
need to defend and sit back now but
lastly one of my other favorites does
the Dalai Lama he’s a symbol of peace
and this simplifies is that he wants to
break peacefully away from China
and the Tibetans concerned as a god but
he just considers himself as a leader
who just wants the best for his people
these are the people who I admire and I
don’t feel like Meyer them to some tips
on how to study geography you need to
love geography in order to study it you
also need to be very curious and learn
about all these places and when you have
some free time after your homework or

need an atlas it’s not really creamy you
don’t have to squint at it back to how

interesting country it has a blacksmith
the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea
it also has many many cities and many
members also two major leagues this only
gives the geography part of it but yah
he’s also made up of culture and other
physical geography so if you want to
know that who lives there with the flags
like what they eat what their climate is
like should really go on a la records
book or go online search for more
information also when you’re going
online and looking at these reference
