Mia Hamm
1) She is a two time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA Women's world cup winner

2) In high school when she was a freshman and sophomore she played soccer. She attended the university of North Carolina and helped win 4 women's championships. She graduated from college with the ACC records for goals with 103, assists with 72, and total points with 278.

3) I think technology impacted this experience because she was born with a club foot and her corrective shoes she wore as a toddler helped her improve.

5) I think the lesson of life that I learned from this example is that you can still achieve great things no matter what difficulties are thrown at you since birth

Luke Aikins

1) Luke Aikins set the record for the highest jump in skydiving history by jumping from 25,000 feet.

2) He has completed more than 18,000 jumps since he started skydiving at the age of 12.

3) I think technology impacted his experience because he jumped from an aircraft that could have only been made with technology.

5) I think that this excellence that was achieved would be the goal that everyone has so he was very fortunate to have been the first to do it. I think the most important lesson that I have learned from this example is that you can aim this big if you're determined and don't allow yourself to be controlled by your fears or anyone's words. If you do something 18,000 times you're going to be very good at it.

                           Marvin Goldstein 
1. Marvin Goldstein has been making music for over 50 years. He completed his education with Bachelor and Master of music degrees at Florida state university. Marvin has recorded 40 compact discs, released a grammy CD with Billy Dean, and has arranged 15 piano solo music books.

2. Marvin began musical training at the age of 9 and by 18 he was given a music scholarship to Tell Aviv University School of music. 

3. I think technology might have impacted this arete experience because without the use of technology we wouldn't have good quality music.

5. I think that with the dedication and hard work he put into achieving his music dream, excellence was also achieved.

Social Networking

A. Social networking is an online service, platform, or site that mainly focuses on the building of social networks or social relations among people who might either be family members or different people across the world who share the same interests. 
B. This innovation will impact millions of people from any part of the world. The variety of the people that use social media are teens, but that is a stereotype because you would be amazed by how many adults and elders are on social media.
C. The problem that this innovation will solve is making it much easier for relatives and friends to communicate via the internet.
D. This is my absolute favorite computer science innovation because it has helped me so much through out the years. I have found people on the internet who think like me, like the same things I do, and made me feel less alone. I think social networking is the best way for anyone to feel connected to someone else.
