     So, why am I so admiring about this basketball superstar, Michael Jordan? As we known, Michael Jordan is a tough guy. He faced a lot of problems such as injuries in basketball games or training and also some rumors about him from the society. However, he was able to face them effectively because of his toughness.

     Besides, he also has some great personalities that we can learn from him. Firstly, he didn't give up easily no matter in his life or his basketball career. This kind of strong feeling made him to overcome all obstacles and achieve excellent results in his life. This kind of personality in him makes me admire him so much. Therefore, I learn to be not giving up in my life so that i can be as successful as him. 

     Besides that, he put much efforts in his sports career. In all his games, he managed to get high scores. This is because he was totally focused in the game and not easily distracted. Compared to our daily life, as a student, we should also stay focus all the time in our study. For example, we should pay attention in the class so that we don't miss any important information. 

     Moreover, what makes Michael Jordan to be so good in basketball? Is it his excellent handling of basketball the main factor of his success? For me, I don't think so. In my opinion, I would think that the main reason of his success in basketball is that the teamwork between him and his teammates. Actually, it is the same situation in our daily life. Students should work together in their study. For instance, they can discuss the related topic of their study and solve the problem together effectively. 

MICHAEL JORDAN FOREVER

     One of his personality that makes me so admiring him is that his leadership in his team. He lead his team and work together perfectly in the game. Once in an interview from him, the reporter ask him what method he used to win the championship. Just a few seconds and he replied, " It's my teammates of course, we won this championship together. Without them, this kind of things can't happen to me." From his words, we know that he is also a very humble person and didn't feel ego. On the other hand, I think that he is a confident person.

     So, I really admire Michael Jordan very much. This is because he is a mentor to me and I learned a lot of things from him not only the basketball skills but the personalities inside him.
