Jane Goodall
Age 4 Jane hides in the family hen house to discover how eggs are laid.
Age 8 Jane reads Dr. Doolittle books and watches Tarzan and discovers her love of animals
Age 10 Jane's mother tells her to work hard and never give up on her dream of traveling to Africa to watch and write about animals.
Age 18 Jane graduates high school but can't afford college. She begins working as a waitress to save money to travel to a friend's farm in Kenya.
Age 26 Jane meets some famous scientists in Kenya and studies chimpanzees. She learns that chimpanzees use tools, eat meat, can understand human emotions, and can learn to communicate using sign language.
Jane still travels the world speaking about the threats to chimpanzees and encourages everyone to take care of all living things.
Jane followed her dreams and made great strides in the understanding of animals and communication.
Communication is so important in our lives. Jane has shown us how even animals communicate and show concern for one another.
Jane set an example of following our dreams. Her story is a good reminder that we can accomplish anything we set our mind toward.
