A person that I admire

I've always admired Stephen Hawking because for me he is the smartest person in the world. He was born the 8th of january of 1942 in Oxford. When he was 21, while he was studying at the Oxford University, doctors diagnosed him ALS. Most of people in his situation give up and wait for their death. ALS has worsened his status with the step of the years, until he is almost completely paralyzed, and now he is forced to communicate through a voice generator apparatus. It is true that Hawking had lived more than doctors an experts expected, but he decided to fight against his illness and the doctors diagnosis. He continued studying and now he is 72 years old and he is a great theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, cosmologist and science communicator. He is still doing conferences about astronomy and physics but essentially he has helped a lot in studies of the Univers. He has done lots of new discoveries of the Univers and of Physics, but I think that he would be better without his horrible illness. 

Most of people have to learn about him and move forwards to achieve their goals.
