On May 24, Theresa May gave a public speech outside Downing Street. She made the decision to resign(辞职)as the UK's prime minister(首相)after failing to pass Brexit- a plan to separate(使脱离)the UK from the European Union (EU).

May broke down in tears as she finished her speech. Many people have wondered what she’s like in her personal life.

May, who was born in 1956, is the UK's second female(女性的)prime minister after Margaret Thatcher. She had to overcome many challenges to get to this position. When she was a child, she dreamed about becoming the first female prime minister of Britain. One of her childhood friends told reporters that she had gotten angry when Thatcher became the first female prime minister before her.

May studied geography at Oxford University. After graduating, she worked in the bank. In 1997 she was elected(选举)as a member of Parliament(议会).

In June 2016, the prime minister (前首相)David Cameron decided to leave the business of Brexit behind him for May to deal with.

When May became prime minister, she was ambitious(有雄心的)about Brexit. However, she felt tired after many failed talks with the EU.

Still, I am very inspired by May. She is a strong woman who fought hard to make good deals (交易)with the EU. Although she failed most of the time, she still got up and carried on. She will go down in history.
