The famous person that I admire is Deborah Sampson. She was alive during the revolutionary war. Back then women were not aloud to fight in war, so she dressed herself up like a man to fight in the war. She got shot in the leg and got an injury on her head, she let the physicians (nurses/doctors) look and care for her head but she removed the bullet from her leg by herself so the physicians would not find out that she was a girl. Then she got sick and was hospitalized and that's where they remove her from war and was given an honorable discharge. When she went back she was a teacher again (before she went to war she was a teacher too) and would dress up in her uniform and gun and show her class what she had looked like as a soldier. She married a farmer and had 3 kids and also adopted 1. Deborah Sampson was a very brave woman and a strong one too.
