Michael Rosen. David Beckham - Biography on Bio. David Beckham was born in Leytonstone to parents Ted, a kitchen fitter, and Sandra, a hairdresser. Beckham's parents were fanatical Manchester United supporters who frequently travelled to Old Trafford from London to attend the club's home matches, so he naturally inherited their love of the team and chose football as his main sporting passion.

His love of football meant that his schooling took second place. In 1991, aged 16, he left school and signed up to Manchester United's youth training scheme after his talent for the game had become evident. He had initially been on trial at Tottenham. Beckham scored in the second leg of the FA Youth Cup final against Crystal Palace in 1992 and was part of a talented group of young players that included the likes of Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and the Neville brothers.

United reached the final of the Youth Cup again the following year, with Beckham playing in the defeat to Leeds United. Kate Middleton - Biography on Bio. Kate Middleton was a student at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, where she graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in the History of Art. In 2001, while in her second year at the University of St Andrews, Middleton met the future king. Since 2003, she and the prince have been in an on-again-off-again relationship that has been the subject of intense media scrutiny. She was born on 9 January 1982, in Berkshire, England, to pilot Michael and flight attendant Carole Middleton. In 1987, the Middletons founded their own party goods company, which helped to make them millionaires. Middleton attended the exclusive St Andrew's Prep School until she was 13 and then Marlborough College, where she passed 11 GCSEs and three A-level exams. She studied the History of Art at St Andrew's where she met Prince William, who is second in line to the throne, and the pair started a romantic relationship in 2003.

In 2007, however, the couple publicly split. Biographies for kids: Inventors, Athletes, World Leaders, Women.

Harriet Tubman Biography. “I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.” “I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.” “I grew up like a neglected weed – ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.”

“I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more, if only they knew they were slaves.” “Oh, Lord! You've been with me in six troubles, don't desert me in the seventh!” “When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. “I had crossed the line of which I had so long been dreaming. “I have known her long, and a nobler, higher spirit, or a truer, seldom dwells in the human form.” “The midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism.
