__1)Intro to your 19th Century hero__ For my 19th century hero i chose Sacagawea because she didn't have to go with lewis and clark. but she did anyway.

__2)Put hero's life into perspective--when did they live, where, who were they trying to help, why, how, why was this important?__

Sacagawea was born circa 1786. she never really had a home, she was in a tribe and she was taken and then she joind the lewis and clark expedition.

__3)What makes your person a hero--you must prove that your person meets the criteria of your own personal definition(this is the meat of your wiki page and your submission to the My Hero website-your looking at a good four paragraphs here--focus on that spark, that moment the person decided to be heroic or do heroic acts.__

Sacagawea is representing my deffintion of a hero because she wasn't forced to be in the expedition. she helped lewis and clark when the boat flipped over she wasn't made or piad to go and get lewis' and clark's journals, but she did anyways. To me that makes her a hero. she led them on the right path. and in the end... we had more land. if it wasn't for sacagawea then we probally wouldn't have made the discovery of the other half of the untied states. Because everyone else the was there didn't want to go and look over there becuase they knew that there was alot of unknown things there so they weren't brave enough to go out there, but sacagawea was. She has impacted alot of people today even after she died. she is still a hero to many people today. So she is the type of person that you can look up to. alot of people today are still looking up to her now.She has done alot since she was alive. if it wasn't for her lewis and clark mihgt not have been able to go through all of those jungles and forests. they might not have survived.

__5)What is the person's legacy?__

she is going to be known for her helfpful experince with lewis and clark.

__6)What advice would they have for todays youth?__
