Jean Donovan 5

5. Jean Donovan was such a great woman for dedicating her life to help those who were less fortunate than her in El Salvador. She committed all her time and efforts to help them. A great quality to describe Jean would be caring. She loved all the children and families that she helped down there. She couldn't leave El Salvador because she cared too much for the people that she continued to help. Jean was also very compassionate to others. The main reason as to why she couldn't leave El Salvador was because she saw how the people were living and knew she needed to help them. When she saw poor, sick, and injured people all she wanted to do was to help them, especially the children. Bravery is another quality that Jean had. She continued to live in El Salvador even though she knew each day she put her life at risk. She knew how dangerous it was for her but she had the bravery and courage to continue to live there to help the victims in El Salvador. A fourth quality seen in Jean would be strong willed. Her family and friends back home would constantly try to talk her out of going back down to El Salvador. They would beg and plead with here because they knew that while she was down there she could die. Even though she had everything someone would want back home she knew what she needed to do. She was determined and dedicated to helping the people in El Salvador knowing her own life was at risk. Jean has such admirable characteristics, which are obvious to anyone who hears her story. In my own life I hope to also obtain these qualities even if they are not to the same degree as Jean. But bravery is a quality I wish to embody the most. In the future I hope to be brave and stand up for others and myself. I want to always do the right thing like Jean Donovan did.
