 Hey everyone welcome back for the past few weeks we were writing a essay about a famous well known new Zealander and then we had to say why their influential to us. Here is my essay have a wonderful day Good-Bye 

Sir Edmund Hillary, who is he? What did he do? Well Here's 

about his life. In his childhood he was always a really shy person

and was a very awkward person. He was born on the 20th of July 1919

when he started going to school his primary school was Taukau Primary School.

Then when he got into high school when he was sixteen he started to do boxing lessons. 

In time of career, he climbed the summit of Mount Everest. He did charity work,

and he was the very first person to climb Mount Everest ever. He decided to climb

the mountain to show people that hes not they shy person that he used to be when

he was a kid and to show people that he was prepared to do something that no one

was prepared to do. He did charity work to fund raise for a company called Himalayan

Trust which is a company that he led until he passed away in 2008. 

He won three awards they all were in different years and these are the awards.

The very first one that he won was in 1954 and that award was called the Hubbard Medal,

which was for distinction in exploration, discovery and research. The next award he won was

in 1958 and this award was called Patrons Gold Medal, which was for geographical society,

and finally his last award that he won was called Padma Vibhushan and he got this for some

of the main reasons as the other two awards that he got he got this award in 2008. 

 He became influential to me because we both got bullied when we were younger

and he shows me no matter how badly you get bullied you can always build yourself

back up and do something bigger and better. Therefore that is what makes Sir

Edmund Hillary the most well known person in the whole of New Zealand, I also told you about

his life story.
