The person who I admire the most is Yuri Gagarin. He was born on the 9th
March 1934, in Klushino Village, Smolensk Region. He is famous as the first man
in the space.
Yuri Gagarin was born in peasant family. His father was a woodworker and
his mother worked at the milk plant. In 1941 he went to school and the Great Patriotic
War began. He had to break his studying off. In 1951 Yuri Gagarin entered the
Saratov Industrial College. Three years later he came to Saratov Aeroclub. In
1955 Gagarin achieved success, graduated from the college with honors and he
took a flight on the plane for the first time in his life.
After his graduation, Gagarin called up for the army. He was one of
twenty candidates to fly into the space. Gagarin became one of three leaders in
the first detachment. On the 12th April 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the
first man who flew into the space by a launch vehicle called “Vostok-1”.
The reason I admire him because he is really courageous and brave.
