Mia Hamm

(1) Mia Hamm use to be an American soccer player who was in the team for 17 years. She managed, in 1991 and 1999, to win the Women's World Cup. She also won several olympic gold medals. She is said to be the best female soccer player in history!

(2) She was taught by her brother and encouraged to get into sports.By the age of 15, she was the youngest one to be in a national team. She helped the team reach excellence by winning the NCAA women's championships. 

(3) Technology could have helped her because she probably saw on TV how good other soccer players were. That would have motivated her to do her best. Her brother helped her as well, so maybe he saw sports on TV as well. 

(5) I think this is a great example of excellence. Maybe along the way she had hardships, but she managed to overcome them. This is motivational and can help others wanting to fulfill a dream. With the help of her brother she achieved this great goal.

Imagine how much courage it must have taken to achieve this! He feel from 25,000 feet above the ground! He landed on a net while his wife waited eagerly. 

(2)  With hard work and dedication he achieved this goal. I can barely imagine how he felt after achieving this high of excellence! He believed in himself and his wife was right behind him every step of the way. 

(3) Technology impacts this because without proper calculation or even a plane this would have been impossible to do. He would have missed then net! But with the proper calculations he managed to fulfill this lifelong dream! Aikins made this a reality!

(5) This is a great achievement that will always be remembered. This at one point was impossible but Luke Aikins made this a reality and influenced a lot of people to never give up on their dreams and never give up hope. Anything can be achieved as long as you believe.
