The Person I Admire The person whom I admire is Mamoudou Gassama, a French immigrant from Mali, who saved a child dangling off a fifth floor balcony. He was in the neighborhood when he saw a crowd gathering around the apartment building. Seeing that the child was in danger, he sprang into action. He scaled the outside of the building, grabbed the child and pulled him to safety. He was called spider-man because it took less than 30 seconds for him to scale the building and saved the boy. His heroic deed teaches me that I should do what I can do to help others, such as helping someone falling on the street and offering my seat to old men on bus. My will to help them may do good to them.
