Born March 21, 1806, Benito Juarez has been and always will be known as a great leader, an inspiration, and a symbol of hope for all . In his early life, Benito Juarez had a rough childhood and wasn’t as fortunate as some of us today, but still changed the future of Hispanics and Americans. Although he was a great leader, many children and adults today don't know who he was. If this continues, he will no longer be recognised for all his accomplishments that have affected our lives today. To commence, Benito Juarez had an intensely difficult childhood, but overcame his past and changed the lives of many in which he also changed his own life. Benito grew up without parents and never really got the support he needed from his guardians.
