Michelle is one of the best ice skaters. She has been in many championships and got many awards. She also had many hard times and many good times. Michelle is in the category of "A Hero Wants to be Rewarded for her Action." As you can see, Michelle is on of the best skaters ever known.

Michelle had a happy childhood. Michelle was born on the Chinese day for the monkey. Michelle started skating when she was 5 years old so they called her little Kwan. Michelle had an older sister named Karen and a mother and father. Michelle and her sister both knew how to skate. She also loved competing against others. When Michelle was 7-8 she broke her foot before the big test and then she can't skate know for two weeks. But then she tried. Then she became a senior skater and she won 11th place - then she worked harder did a better performance and got in 8 place - to 2 place. Michelle also went to school but she had to balance her time by skating and school. Which then worked out good. As you can see, Michelle had a happy childhood but faced a lot of challenges.

Michelle has done many things for others and especially for her parents. She made them proud of all she did. First, she worked hard as a senior to accomplish many goals and won a Gold medals ! ! (Many times) She also is a hero because she is the  Person that got the most medals! Many people think that Michelle is too small to do such thing. But she is one of the best skaters. (Hero for many people ). As you can see, Michelle has done many things as a hero.

Michelle had many challenges in her life. Michelle and Karen had to go 5 days a week for lessons. Their parents had to pay lots of money for them and finally they did not have enough money for both of them. So the lessons had to be stopped and then she can't win all the skating games. Then, she went to a rink to skate and practice and a coach saw her and wanted to train her. So the next day she started training for the champion games and while practicing everyday. Every day to practice many kids or others come and they are wearing makeup and the best dresses but Michelle doesn't have that money. In the private lesson rink Michelle broke her toe. The doctor said she had to stay and not walk on the foot for 2 weeks. Michelle then had to stay and not skate. She has a competition and she really wanted to practice. So she tried to practice, and her pain traveled away like the wind and then, the competition day was here and her toe was hurting again. But she tried her best to win.She did not get chosen the best because of her age. But in the free stile round she got the best scores it was 0.6. She also, been in times she had to give up like when Michelle was a senior not a beginner she had to do the loop and in and out and jumps that are very hard. She practiced for Olympics but it was too hard for her and she got in 2nd place. Michelle always got in first but when she jumps the loops she falls. Then, she worked very hard to get the jump and loop correct or the double jump double loop. The next time she had an Olympics she did her best. Finally, Michelle had to go to college and she had Canada champion woman champion and other. She had to mange her time. Her sister moved to study and then Michelle had to study and practice. She studied for an amount of time and managed. As you can see, Michelle has been in many hard times.

Michelle Kwan has won many awards, honers and record set. She competed in the Olympics and got a gold for first place, not only that she won 2nd place in the hard Competition and she also is honored by being the best skater. Michelle has set many goals for her self to win the competition and so she has set many records. I think she makes me want to be doing that and maybe more by a different subject. Finally Michelle had made many people happy. As you can see, Michelle has won many awards.

Michelle has many traits and qualities. Perseverance is one of Michelle's traits. Michelle got to a high point of the Olympics but she was in 11th place. But if she needs to pass, she needs to be from 1-10place. But she did the best she can. She tried hard but she got to 8th place. Michelle also has dedication. When Michelle got to a high point where the moves get harder and Michelle kept failing to the gold because of her age and talent. She is not good as the others. Then Michelle didn't give up. Michelle's most trait was courage. Also, she was brave enough to go up there and show what she had learned. Also, she could skate and her foot was broke. Finally, she could do her best and see if she got a gold or not. As you can see, Michelle has many traits.

Michelle Kwan has made me have courage every were if I wanted to do something I will remember her. When she was skating and when she was practicing she might have fallen many times but she kept on trying. I also learned to set goals while I am studying or practicing soccer. Michelle set many goals for every day, month, week, year or years. Next, by reading I knew that when you can't achieve something ( and that's a problem ) try your best to to achieve it. Also, Michelle always tried to have a good mode. Or smile and see what you get. Finally, there are going to be many challenges but keep on going. So, if there is a challenge coming up, keep on going the best way. As you can see, I learned a lot about Michelle Kwan.
