One person that I want to admire or respect is Yu-na Kim, the great figure skater. She is 21 years old. She was born in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Some people just think that she has a great talent. I however, think not only she has a great talent for skating but also she has some other reasons.
First of all, She practices times out of her mind. When she was young, she always go to ice rink to practice every day. In fact, she wanted to hang around with friends. But she should prepare a championship. Time passed, She became the first female skater to win the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Four Continents Championships and the Grand Prix Final. The hard training makes her the queen of figure skating.
Also, she never give up the skating in spite of a lot of problems. In 2003, she was injured with her ankle.
Because of that, she almost decided to give up the skating. Despite this situation she made it as Korean National Champion and she made up her mind to challenge her dream that she really want. She says that if you want it seriously, the dreams come true.
Finally, she is a good donator. When she trained in Korea, the ice rink where she practice was so old and it had very tough environment. She knows that training figure skating conditions in Korea is very poor so she have contributed to make better environment for young skaters.
