Introduction

Conclusion
My role model is Ryan Hreljac, a boy from Canada.
Ryan is known for helping people in Africa get clean water. He was born into an ordinary family. When he was six, he learnt that many children in Africa didn’t have clean water. He was shocked and decided to help. He did chores to earn money, but it was not enough. He asked more people for help and finally raised enough money to build a well in Uganda. I admire him because he took responsibility and didn’t give up.
Ryan sets a good example for us. If we care about others and work hard like Ryan, we can also help solve important problems in the world.
