Of this years winners or of all time. I can say that the only Nobel price winner I met was Mother theresa and she was great. I met her once she was coming to my school and we had a cake sale and raised a few pounds. And it was my job to give her the few pounds. I was a little sad in fact that we could only give her ten pounds and she asked me “Why you look so sad?” so i told her and she smiled and said with this ten pounds I can do so much to help somone in Calcutta it may not do much to help someone here in Ireland but there it will buy rice to feed lots of people for the week My dad said of her if there was a vote for the one person that should get president of the world it be her.
