Question #27: Which historical figure do you most identify with?

The historical figure I most identify with is not well known and I only learned about her when I was in the peak of my fascination with pirates. Although I disagree with her looting and pillaging there were some admirable traits she had. Ching Shih is the historical figure I most identify with.

I started to do research on her before I started college about 4 years ago and she ended up turning into my famous person speech for my speech class. I spoke on her treatment of women captives and the laws she had put in place for her fleet to protect them. I also spoke on her impressive military prowess and business practices as I had been going into business myself. She ruled over 70,000 pirates during her time which is around the same amount of people currently residing within my hometown. I have been placed in leadership opportunities just like she has and I craved power, now I like to observe others and give suggestions from behind the scenes as I let others take on more. If I feel I need to step up and do more I will.
