Early on in Muhammad Ali’s life he encountered a whole lot of racism. But he was
Strong about it and decided to have this dream of becoming a boxer. But while he was
Trying to do that World war 2 was just barley getting started and there was still so much
Racism going on there as well as with the Jews / Hitler in Germany. His greatest
Accomplishment is that he was the first fighter to win the world light heavyweight
Championship on 3 separate occasions. He also successfully defended it 3 times.
He is a great example of overcoming Adversity and Challenges and Personal Growth.
Because he overcame racism to make his dreams come true. And Personal Growth
Because he wanted to get fit. One way he did that is by jogging to school for 20 blocks.
When Clay was 12 years old he took boxing under the Louisville police department. He
Was also born to a really poor family. At the 1960 games he won the gold medal in his
175 pound division in Rome. He was more regarded by people because of his skills. He
used children phrases such as “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” To raise public
Interest in his fights.
His final record for his boxing career was 56 wins with 5 losses. With 37 knockouts has
been matched by others. And also making a wish foundation was founded by him also.
He cared more about others in need then his own fame and fortune. I think it is his
greatest accomplishment because he put others needs before his own. I also thought that
it was really cool how he never gave up on his dream. I like that he didn’t even take the
bus to school because of all the racism that was going on. But instead he jogged 20
blocks to school.
I think that he exemplifies service, overcoming adversity and challenges. He created the
Making a Wish Foundation. Also because he put others before him. And also him coming
from a poor family and still making his dream come true and having to deal with racism
that was going on at the time. It connects to the Creed because he had financial/ and
racism problem. He also ran for 20 blocks to get from home to school and while doing so
he waved at his fellow class mates as they drove by. Well it shows that if we really want
to we can over come any problem/ challenge we have to face in our lives.
He is a great example of Overcoming Adversity and Challenges, and also Personal
Growth. He did so by not listening to people when they called him the “N” word. And
not only him but other colored people as well. He also ran from home to school for 20
blocks. Muhammad Ali’s greatest accomplishment was creating the Making a Wish
Foundation. We should all stop putting ourselves before those in need and start having
Empathy for them and put them first before our selves.

Alright, I gotta say that this was a good report. i like the way that you chose to word your sentences. One thing though i would change is how you choose to organize some of your paragraphs. Sometimes you couldn't really tell which paragraph was what.
one thing i like about your paper is that you put in there that ali became a boxer. one thing you need to improve is nothing but, you double spacing, one thing i learned is that he became world light heavyweight champ on 3 separate occasion
Hey great paper. I think that you did a great job explaining who Ali is. You really continue to suprise me with your writing capability. You could work on sentence fluency.
I learned that he used to be racist. I dont know you.
I think this is a good poem cuz you really showed who the person is. dont put soo much spaces though, i leared that he became a boxer and won the worlds heavyweight championship.
