My name is Maria Weston Chapman. I think a hero is someone who you can look up to and trust or someone who helps people or the world and makes a positive impact on someone or the world. I am a hero because without my help, many slaves might not have been freed. I grew up as a normal girl. I lived on a farm with five sisters and two brothers. I went to local schools. Hearing about slavery and the horrible things that happened to slaves, I was startled. What was going on was horrible and I needed to help to change it. I started petitions, raised money, and did anything else I could to help the cause. I believe that I opened a window of hope for the slaves. They could finally have hope in one day being free.
