Biographical Sketch

I found a famous two time olympian and gold medalist. Her name is Kerri Strug, she was the youngest olympian in1992. She was 14 years old when she joined to be a olympian! After four more years of hard work and training it payed off. But as the competition almost at the end, It was Kerri's Strugs turn for the vault. After sadly she was falling and injuring her ankle for the first vault, she managed on the second vault but before collapsing in pain. And suddenly she was in the front of the newspaper! She became famous and she was only eighteen when that happened.

Personal Reflections

I would not like to visit Arizona because of the hot weather. Including the summers its very hot, sometimes its 110-120 degrees (that means alot of people have to wear sunblock)! Also I would not like to visit Arizona is that it has alot of cacti. Its plants but mostly (cacticus).

The most interesting thing that I'd learned was that a Meteor Crater, which is a huge hole in the ground that was formed when an asteroid hit Arizona around 50,000 years ago.But the asteriod hit Arizona's desert, where it mostly untouched by weather all of this time.
