Today’s post is about Marie Curie who is one of the most famous scientists. She was born in Poland on November, 1867 and died in 1934 when she was 67 years old. She discovered radium and other key elements to help us out everyday, especially when getting an x-ray. She has four siblings. Her sister and her mother died due to diseases.

I think that Marie Curie was a persistent person that will not give up halfway. I also think that she was having quite a difficult life. She had made a big difference to the young woman today. I was shocked to know that she actually received 15 gold medals awards, 19 degrees and more other honors. She discovered radium and other key elements to help us with other daily life and that shaped her into a better scientist that won many Nobel Prize .
Crystal :
Although Marie Curie lost many of her kins but she still determined to continue to work hard in order not to disappoint them.
Tzu Hsuen :
Even if her family was not with her supporting her, she still thinks that they will always be there supporting her. She is a very brave woman.
