Good day. My name is Matthew Henson. I was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1866. My life was going well until my parents died when I was twelve years old. I went to my parent's funeral. Their caskets side by side. Being an only child made it hard. No one to lean on.
So I became a sailor. The crew took me in as if I was a part of the family. By the time I was 21, I had traveled the world! It was extremely exciting. I have never seen so many different people and cultures ever.
After I traveled the world, I worked in a small shop in Washington D.C. I decided to take a break from the world.
