Admiring successful person are common for everybody, and in some ways help them to become successful in life too. When somebody admires a person, that person become a good model for him or her. For me, the person whom I looked up to and I admired most is my cousin Aisha Al Hamli.
The first time I heard that she wanted to study as a pilot in Jordan, so I was disappointed just like most of our family felt. As we all know, in the Arab Culture, women are not allowed to go to other places outside the country alone and working with men. But Aisha was so determined to fulfill her dreams when she was just a little child. She got help with financial and emotional support from her father, and she leaved the country and went to Jordan. At first, she had a hard time to live alone there that even her studies are affected. She admitted that she was not good in her class, but she never gave up. In addition, she wanted to prove to her family that she can achieves her dream. She had a strong determination and long patience. After five years she graduated and got two licenses to drive private and public airplanes, and she went back here in Abu Dhabi. At that time, her family have already accepted her decisions and become happy and supportive with her. Consequently, she became the youngest and the first woman pilot in the United Arab Emirates. Not only her family were so proud of her, but the whole Emirates as well. She brought honor to the country that Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak made her as a successful good model to all the woman of Emirates. But Aishas dream didn’t stop as being a pilot only. Also, she enrolled at Zayed University, and she studied Business Course and got her degree. She is a strong woman with big dreams, moreover she is hardworking and responsible. She organized her dreams well that despites the trials and problems. she encountered in achieving her goals, and she was able to survived it.
And me personally, I admired her most not only because of her achievements, but most especially because of her determinations, and on how she handles her life in achieving and fulfilling her dreams.

This is long so you get two grades Fatima. The first is Okay (2 mistakes) and the second is Excellent (no mistakes). People like Aisha are remarkable and should be loved and respected for what they have acheived. i'd say you're lucky to know her.
