talented and, last year, she even won an Olympic gold medal!
She’s one of the most caring people I know. When someone new joins
the team, she helps them fit in, and she tries to help all of us with our
problems. She’s incredibly hard-working too. She spends hours training
and encouraging us. She also has a great sense of humour; she pushes
us to do our best, but whenever she sees that we have reached our
limits, she just says something funny and, within seconds, we’re all
laughing and relaxed again.
She has been a great influence on me because she’s taught me to
never give up. She also shows me that helping other people succeed
can be rewarding. I’m going to volunteer at a children’s sports camp
this summer, thanks to her inspiration.
Everyone in the team looks up to our instructor. We believe that much
of our success is thanks to all the time and energy she invests in us.
