 Simon Bolivar's biography

He was born on July 24, 1783, in Caracas, Venezuela. Coming from an aristocratic home who, had the fortune to receive an
excellent education, despite the death of his parents, when he was 9 years old. One of his tutors was Simón Rodríguez, who introduced
him to the philosophical movement of that time. In 1799 he traveled to Spain to continue his education. There he married Maria Teresa
Rodríguez del Toro y Alayza in 1802, but she died of yellow fever the following year, after returning to Venezuela.

The Father of the Nation, the Liberator Simón Bolívar, is considered the most outstanding hero of the Spanish American
Independence. He is one of the most outstanding and influential thinkers in the constitutions of the new American nations. He liberated six
nations, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.

While he was outside of Venezuela, Bolívar is the victim of rivalries between the caudillos who began to govern Venezuela and
goes to Colombia, where he died on December 17, 1830, in the city of Santa Marta. His latest statements reflect the bitterness he felt for
not having achieved his goal of uniting the new homeland: "Colombians! My last votes are for the happiness of the homeland. If my death
contributes to the end of the parties and the consolidation of the union, I will go down to the grave in peace. "
 Biography of Simón Rodríguez

He was born in Caracas on October 28, 1796. His Christian name was Simón Narciso de Jesús. In 1793 it is declared foundling,
that is to say that it was abandoned by its parents, this is the reason why there is little information about its origins. According to
Amunátegui, the first biographer of this character, there is the possibility that he was the son of a priest with the surname Carreño, because
that was his last name before changing his nickname to Rodríguez, and in turn this was the testimony he obtained from Andrés Bello, that
he was Simón's neighbor in Caracas, and whom Amunátegui met on a trip to Chile. However, the writer Rafael Hernández Heres and
Arturo Uslar Pietri deny this version.

There is no information on where he studied or what he specialized in. The first data on his dedication to teaching dates back to
1791, when the Cabildo of Caracas granted him the position of Professor of Reading and Writing for children. A year after receiving this
position, he became Bolívar's teacher, who arrived at this school. From his performance in different areas of knowledge, we know that he
had mastery of mathematics, economics, physical sciences, and the Arts. His educator spirit allowed him to create strategies that would
serve for the organization and restoration of the recently liberated nation.
 Simón Rodríguez dies at 84 years of age in Peru, in a small town called Amotape. Seventy years later his remains are transferred to
the Pantheon of the Próceres in Lima, and a century later they are sent to Caracas, his hometown, there they rest in the National Pantheon
since February 28, 1954.
