19th+Century+Hero+Henry+Ford

Teenagers today are always looking for someone to look up to and many of them today aren’t very responsible. That’s not good for kids today. To me a hero has to be someone responsible, caring, and has never given up that’s why I picked Henry Ford for my hero. My person is a hero because they never gave up and in the end it really paid off. Henry Ford was born in 1863. In 1879 Henry left home to work in nearby Detroit as an apprentice machinist. In 1891 he became in engineer in the Edison illuminating company. In 1893 he's promotion gave him enough money and time to put into his own experiments. In 1899 he quit his job to work at Detroit automobile company. Then he quit and began to build his own racing cars. In 1901 the Henry ford company had Henry at chief engineer and the cars were built one at a time.

[] The reason my person is a hero is because he is responsible, caring and someone who has never given up. Henry Ford was responsible because he was able to mange his time by working and inventing. He also never gave up because he failed in his inventions so many times and just kept trying to find a way that would work. He impacted people lives because he revolutionized the automobile industry with all his ideas and inventions and it really payed off in the end. "A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large" [|http://www.ideafinder.comhttp://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/h/henry_ford.html/history/inventors/ford.htm]

He was also a hero because he built the largest automobile still in the U.S. This success came from all this hard work and time he put in to his inventions. He meets my definition because he never gives up. Also, he devotes time to what he wants to be successful at. He made it so we could get to places faster and smarter then riding horses. "A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business". []

We benefited from Henry ford's inventions because we use them everyday to get to places. He also left behind one of the biggest automobile industries in the world. Lastly, his invention was one of the greatest ever invented and people take them for granted everyday. What would we do if we didn’t have automobiles?

Since Henry ford was one of the best inventors ever I think he would try to come up with another way for the automobile to run smarter and more eco friendly. This new invention would lower fuel costs and would be creating jobs opportunities and this would strengthen the economy.
