Portfolio 2: “Competition: Silent Heroes”

I know a person that has changed other people´s lives for the better. That person was Alexander Fleming.  He was born in 1881 in Scotland. But, he lived in London, England. He was very interested in science. He was impulsive, and sloppy. He had straight hair and he wore glasses.  

Alexander Fleming was a serious and good-natured person. He wore professional clothes because he worked as a doctor in St. Mary´s hospital in London. Alexander was helped by Winston Churchill in the First World War. Then Winston paid Alexander´s studies.  Fleming was a reserved person, however he accepted Winston´s proposal, and he paid Alexander ´s studies.

He discovered penicillin when he was working in his lab. This was the component of all the antibiotics. He was a hero, because doctors could use antibiotics to cure people and have a healthy life. It was a big advance in science. He could help poor people in Africa with antibiotics.

People don't take into account what Alexander Fleming ​​did. He helped everyone with his discovery. Doctors knew what he did, and he was viewed by them as a hero and a very important person in medicine. He died in 1995 in London.
