I, Edmund Hillary was born on July 20, 1919 in Tuakau, New Zealand which was my home town. In social studies you learned about New Zealand but I know that you guys probably didn't learn about this unpopular town. You probably thought that once you knew who I was you thought that I was interested in mountaineering right when I was born but as a young boy I was not even interested in mountaineering. I was actually interested in reading books. No, I am not a nerd. It's just that it was my source of entertainment when I was young.
When I was reading books in bed my sister would pull a string to let me know that my dad was coming and I would put away my book and turn of the light and pretend to go to sleep. It worked out really well. My dad never found out. I still don't know why he doesn't like me to read but he didn't. Another thing you probably thought about me was that I was born big and bulky, but when I was young I was skinny because all I did was read.
