Last night one of my idols died at the age of 76. I have loved Stephen Hawking since I was a little girl, he inspired me to continue my passion for learning and science. I have struggled with my health all my life and because of his bravery though his own, much more serious, health issues I realized that I do not have to give up my own dreams because of it.
