Viriya and Katherine,

Your summary includes the main elements of this man's remarkable life. Grammar and spelling are correct, and so is punctuation. I recommend that you don't write ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Also, using your own words is a good idea.

After "Mexico" in the first sentence, you put a comma (,) but it should be a period (.) because it is the end of the sentence.
