History was the one subject I hated the most, but if I ever get a chance to meet someone from the past I would like to meet Subhash chandra Bose and actually will like to follow him around so as to know what actually happened

I like Menachem Begin. He was a Holocaust survivor and he found the Nazis and then the British. He was a hero to me. I also admire Anne Frank from the Holocaust and the book on her and Hannah Senes who flew into Hungary to save Jews and got caught and executed.

I use to hate history, in high school! Now, I love reading about historical truths. My favorite historical figure is Abraham Lincoln, who gave his life fighting, to free the Afro-American slaves. What a wonderful example he became, for us to learn the act of love!

Gandhi had some great quotes. My favourite quote is "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."

Martin Luther King Jr., though I feel he would be sad at the events in my country right now.

I would have to pick Jesus Christ without any hesitation as he has had the most influence in my life. I love who he was, what he said and what he did.
