She was shot while saving the passengers to escape from the flight and sacrificed her life in this.
She is always a role model for me and she inspired me a lot on how to take responsibility in this type of situation when required.
I admire her a lot because, being very young, she understood the situation and didn’t hesitate to face the problem and gave her life. She is not only a role model for me but for everyone she is the role model.
