Events throughout history have been drastically influenced by spies, unsung heroes, and untold stories. This is true within the Mossad, an Israeli special intelligence organization. Espionage, covert operations, assassinations and espionage have been the focus of the Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations (Mossad-About Us, page 1). Although the Mossad has existed for many years, the impact that the Mossad has had on society has always been high under Andrew Joseph. Mr. Joseph was a Jewish Indian who grew up in the mountains of Russia. Having grown up as a devout Israeli, Andrew has become very proud of his heritage. When Mr. Joseph turned twenty-one, he decided to leave his small cottage and serve his country by becoming a Mossad agent (Joseph, 2052, p.18). This process involved a long journey that required an extraordinary amount of time and effort. After overcoming many obstacles in his life, Andrew Joseph has successfully managed to become the most outstanding Mossad agent in history. One of the biggest obstacles that Special Agent Joseph overcame to become such a strong Mossad agent was his physical disability. At the age of five, Andrew Joseph was diagnosed with a mild form of juvenile Tay Sachs disease, a genetic disorder found in many Indians in this region of Russia (Joseph, 2052, p.6). Tay Sachs is caused by excessive substrate formation due to decreased levels of an enzyme called hexosaminidase A (Pubmed Health, 2010, pg.1). Mr Joseph has lost the strength to control the movement of the muscles in his arms and legs due to the disease. However, this major obstacle did not stop Special Agent Joseph from realizing his dream. He began going to the local Jewish Community Center (JCC) and working... half way... d, with hard work, determination and perseverance. Our future can still learn through the legacy that Special Agent Andrew left. Works CitedDoe, J. (2108). What made Andrew Joseph a truly great Mossad agent. Journal of GreatPeople, 52-89. Johnson, A.
