My Opinion

I think Milton Hershey was a very persevering man. Even though he went bankrupted multiple times, he kept on trying. Milton was very creative too. He was so creative that he made a chocolate bar that would not melt in tropical weather. He was a man who followed dreams and I respect that about him.
