Muhammad Ali


The boxing legend Mahamad Ali “The King of the Ring.” Is a young 18 year old, gold medalist. He was trained by a cop named Joe Martin in junior high. He became a fames boxing legend, and he created the “Make a Wish” adoption agency. He reminds me of the creed because he dedicated his life to serve others and personally delivered food to those in need just because he cared.
Mahamad Ali, first started learning how to box in junior high, even though it was hard he stuck to it. He started to learn to box because someone stole his bike and wanted to beat them up. When he was 18 he won an Olympic gold metal in the Athletic Union light weight fights in Rome. After that he dedicated his life to service by caring about those in need. I love boxing so his story inspires me and makes me want to stick to what I like to do. His story tells me that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
I think that his greatest accomplishment is that he was that much of an important person that he got to light the flame in Atlanta in 1996 Olympics. As we all know he began his carrier as a young boxer then went on to create the “Make a Wish” adoption agency. I think this is his greatest accomplishment because, he helped orphans get in to loving family’s he actually care to make a difference in children’s life’s, another accomplishment he made was a study he started on by donating $30 million to find a cure to parking sons syndrome witch he was diagnosed with it in September 1984. He did this so that others wouldn’t have to go threw what he did.


If, you were to ask me what category of the Summit student Creed I’d put him under I would label him under the line “I pledge to be caring, and live a life of service”
Because my example of this is how he started the” Make a Wish” foundation. I chose this example because, he dedicated himself to helping others and put little kids with loving families that were there and really cared. I also think that the cure foundation that he started fits in the aspect of caring because he donated $30 million to find a cure to Parkinson’s syndrome, because he suffered through it himself and if you can help stop it, why wouldn’t you? He also started the world peace group because he didn’t like violence, witch I find odd because he was a boxer but that’s another one of his accomplishments that got to me.
I think that life long learning is another aspect of the creed that reminds me of Muhammad Ali because he never stopped trying to learn new ways to better himself and ways to help others.  Just like when he created the adoption agency. I honestly think that everyone can make a difference all they need to do is try a little harder to be a little better and they can make a difference.

1-I thought you were a lot more descriptive than most people, being a lot more specific in certain accomplishments. Good job saying your personal opinion and portraying your thoughts correlating with Muhammad Ali.
2-Just work on your grammar and spelling, paragraph spacing and run on sentences. It was a good paper.
3-I didn't know he started Make a Wish Foundation, I thought that is cool.

Muhammad Ali is a good guy, because not only is he a great boxer but he did good things like you explained. I also think that lighting the torch was one of his greatest accomplishments.
