    My hero is very good at golf. She is Yani Tseng. She has won a lot of awards in her golf life. Recently, she won the LPGA championship in Taiwan. She is the glory of Taiwan. I think she is an earnest person.

    She was born in Taoyuan, Taiwan. Since she was five years old, she started to play golf. When Yani Tseng was young, her father managed a driving range. She was interested in golf and practiced golf two hours everyday since elementary school. She joined teenager's competition when she was in the fourth grade.

  She felt a lot of stress while she was playing golf in junior high.  One day, she was upset and complained to her mother, "I didn't want to practice golf and study.  I felt too tired to do anything."  Her mother felt sorry for her so she said, "Play golf or study.  Which one do you choose?"

  Yani Tseng said, "I will never give up both golf and study." She will never give up pursuing her dreams.

    Yani Tseng won her first champion when she 19 years old in 2008. She has won seven awards since 2008. Now she is the queen of golf. Her efforts make her successful.

    I think I can learn from her spirit of keeping up and never giving up. She is my hero, because I can learn from her. I like Yani Tseng very much. She is a good example for me.
