Anybody can think of an inventor that changed the world. The light bulb is still affecting the world to this day but the light bulb is not the only invention that is still changing the world. A lot of great inventions are only around until the technology around them changes so much that they become obsolete. If those inventions wouldn’t have been invented the world wound not be the same as it is today. There are many different people that change the world daily. In fact, we all affect the world daily, sometimes there is a negative impact and other times there is a positive impact. Only a few people get to change the world after they die.

There are many people in the world who are influential. These people impact the world in a positive way by inspiring people to follow their dreams, show leadership to others, and by their acts. An individual that shows these traits would be the first ever person to create a successful plane, Orville and Wilbur Wright.

The person I consider to be an influential hero is Moira Smith. I refer to Moira Smith as a hero because she saved many strangers’ lives. Her life was dedicated to saving citizens from disasters that had occurred. Moira had even saved victims in exchange for her own life. Most people cannot do such a selfless thing as to risk their life to save others’. Although Smith could have chosen any career, she decided to be a police officer so she could help people in need. Moira jumped right into action during two huge disasters: a subway crash at the Union Square, and 9/11.On August 27th, 1991 there was a tragic subway crash at Union Square.

Do you ever wonder if just one person could make that much of a difference to the life that you and I have today? Someone that I know will make a difference in history forever is Dorothy McKibbin, she was a very important and influential person during the time period of the making of the bomb. Dorothy was a very caring person who always wanted to help and wanted to do anything she could to make a situation better. Dorothy was known for being a hard worker and she always seemed to be happy and kind to others even through all of the hardships she went through in her life. From moving 800 miles from her family and everyone she knew to get treated for her disease to her husband dying and leaving her and her two year old son alone.

"Give me a place to stand, and I will move the world," Archimedes once said. Archimedes lived in ancient Greece, from 287-212 BC. He was born in Syracuse, Italy, to a small family. Cousin of King Hieron III, and son of Phidias, Archimedes was very popular. He was skilled in many fields, including mathematics, physics, inventing, and astronomy. Archimedes devised various devices that were versatile in their use, persisted to improve upon their crude style of mathematics, and made an impact on society by using his countless inventions to shield Sicily from a Roman onslaught.

Social interaction, myelination, brain maturation, and scaffolding are evidence that early childhood is a sensitive time for learning language. In addition, children in early childhood are considered “language sponges” because they absorb every bit of language they hear or read.

Steven Johnson, author of several books with a scientific focus, published a particular novel entitled The Invention of Air: A Story of Science, Faith, Revolution, and the Birth of America. This novel chronicled the life and times of Joseph Priestley, a man who--as the title hints--more than dabbled in the introspective realms of the early sciences, religion, and politics. Though he may be less than a household name today, Priestley made an unforgettable indentation in each subject of his studies, his pool of friends and foes even including such giants as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, men revered as the fathers of this country. To this day, his work has had a ripple effect

For my hero I chose Albert Einstein, the German physicist and scientist who made many essential contributions to the scientific world. Albert Einstein was born in 1979 in Ulm, Germany to a poor family, his family was secular Jewish which would make a big difference in his life in the 1940’s. Albert Einstein is considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century with his theory of relativity and major contributions to the development of atomic energy. Einstein ended up helping everyone around the world, thanks to his theory of relativity almost everyone in the world can have electricity in their homes and workplaces. Albert Einstein also helped in the making of the atomic bomb during WWII which would eventually end the war and save many lives, also destroying entire japanese cities. The reason Einstein is my hero is because he did not lead a life of luxury or lavish but instead a modest life full of wisdom. There are many heroes that are much more brave and mighty but I chose Albert Einstein for his intelligence and wisdom.

The importance of language skills and the ability to communicate and interact with the surrounding environment is critical in the early stages of development in a child. Communication and social skills, along with learning and expressing themselves in order to interact, is highly important during the developmental period in a child’s life. These critical issues have induced the interest and concerns by both parents and researchers to explore and study the effects of bilingualism. In this paper, we will take a look at the most common myths and misunderstandings about bilingualism. Today, there are many parents who still believe that learning multiple languages can cause language delay and low intelligence due to the misunderstanding

“You can’t see other people’s point of view when you have only one language,” declared psycholinguist, Frank Smith. Just as it is mentioned in this quote, foreign language is important; therefore, people should learn a foreign language at an early age. When learning a foreign language at an early age, it helps people to concentrate and increase comprehension skills. Also, at a young age, the mind is fresh, so the person can take in more information and can easily master a foreign language. In addition, most secondary schools, universities, and jobs require a foreign language to be known. People should learn a foreign language at an early age, because it helps young learner’s learning skills, makes it easier to perfect/acquire a new language, and helps to prepare for schools.
