Abraham lives is West Point and was born April 24th 1998 to Mr.Keita and Manifing Kamre during Liberia’s brutal civil war. Abraham's dad died when Abraham was five years old while working for a driver. What blows my mind is he started fighting for child abuse at age nine. He wanted to be like his dad and still does today, and he knows his dad would be really proud of him, as well as his mom who is a great supporter to him - now his dad is his inspiration to help and protect kids.

To be a hero does not mean flying around the city saving people from burning buildings. According to The Merriam Webster Dictionary a hero simply means “a person admired for achievements and noble qualities”. In order achieve greatness in something you must work for it. If Michael Jordan didn’t want to play basketball, he wouldn’t have put hours and hours of work into it or if William Kamkwamba didn't care about going to school, he probably wouldn’t have gone through all of that work to make a windmill.
