Ben Carson
(1)Carson's achievements include performing the first and only successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head, pioneering the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures
(2)Born in Detroit, Michigan, and a graduate of Yale University and the University of Michigan Medical School, Carson has authored numerous books on his medical career and political stances, and was the subject of a television drama film in 2009.
(3) Technology has impacted this greatly because he couldn't have done it without it. He could not have done it with such advanced thorough technology to get Siamese twins through it. It is because of him and technology that they're alive.

(5) It is great that Ben has done good neurological jobs. He tried and succeed with a surgery that took great patience. There are some things i do disagree with like where he stands politically. One of the things i also dislike is that he feels poverty is a choice. I dont believe so, but i cant change the way he thinks. He has done some good and has spoken very highly of his mother and i admire that. I admired the stories of his mother because i feel as if i cant relate.

Roger Bannister

Roger Bannister
(1)In 1954, at the Iffley Road Track in Oxford, England, medical student Roger Bannister becomes the first person in recorded history to run the mile in under four minutes.
(2)Roger was faced with several obstacles, like prioritising two things he loved. In order for him to have gone running, he felt he needed to put med school first.  Bannister had limited time to train, as he was enrolled at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School. He would run 30 minutes most days, focusing the rest of his time on his study of neurology.
(3) I think technology could have impacted this if there were an easier way to multitask. Maybe in the future theyll be a chine that stops time to let you have time to do other things.

(5)I see Roger as an inspiration because id like to be able to multitask the way he did. I wish to become a dermatologist and an actress at the same time. Maybe even dancing and singing. He managed to be a doctor and one of the fastest runners ive heard of.

Mikaele Oloa

At the age of 15, he is still the youngest competitor to have ever won the title and has capabilities of dancing with up to four fire knives. He began dancing at a young age and is most known for his accomplishment of becoming the 2005 and 2006 World Fire Knife Dance Champion in Laie, HI.

Mikaeke Has been training since a young age, following his fathers footsteps. his is an ability he has picked up at the age of 5 when he began training with his father,Isitolo, another competitive fire knife dancer.

Technology could have helped this because, if there were some type of burn prevention for those whom were training, it could have prevented injuries and deaths. He currently assists Kalena's Polynesian 'Ohana in Polynesian dance instruction, choreography, music and is a lead in Tahitian music and composition. His dream is to travel the world and share his love of his culture to everyone.

Reflection: I feel as if, doing this type of activity takes a lot of time, responsibility and ambition. If he didn't want to do this then he wouldn't have tried and probably would have gotten really injured along the way. Hes been doing this since a young boy and has managed to keep motivation for his passion and persevere through this. i dont think id be able to do this but id certainly try. 

Mia Hamm

Mia Hamm

She is a retired American soccer player who competed with the U.S. women's national soccer team for 17 years. She was fifas "best world player of the year" back in the day.  She won the Women's World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2004. Her lucky number was 9.

Hamm is a legend is considered the best female soccer player in history. She played with the U.S. women's national soccer team for 17 years, building one of the biggest fan bases of any American athlete. She won the Women's World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2004. Hamm held the record for most international goals scored until June 2013, when her record was broken by fellow American player Abby Wambach.

Mia's brother had helped her practice and improve. Maybe if she would of had better cameras like a go-pro in 2004, it would have been easier to see where she had flawed. She could have seen her kicks in slow motion and have been even more of a good player (not possible until 2014).



reflection: she is truly an inspiration because she kept her legendary title as the best world player for 17 years. she thrived and worked extraordinarily hard to have succeeded the way she did. She was a grown woman so she also had a life of the side (her daughter) and found a way to multitask. the lesson here could be that, when you work this hard youll get to where you want to be, and this includes sacrifices.

Luke Aikins

Luke Aikins

Luke Aikins is an American professional skydiver, base jumper, pilot, and aerial photographer. He is the first person to dive from mid-tropospheric altitude and land safely without a parachute or a wingsuit and the second skydiver to land without using a parachute

With more than 16,000 jumps to his credit, professional skydiver Luke Aikins has performed many heart-stopping stunts, but his latest feat tops them all. On July 30, 2016, the 42-year-old daredevil became the first man in the world to leap off a plane from an altitude of 25,000 feet without a wingsuit or parachute! Instead, he relied on a net that measured 100-by-100-feet, or less than one-third the size of a football field, to break his fall and help him land safely

If it weren't for recording his practices, he wouldn't have gotten better. Also, without the recording, he would have believed a man fell 25,000 feet above the ground without even using a parachute. I know i wouldn't have believed it.



This man had the courage to make a record and make a legend of himself of being the only man to fall that high without a parachute. This meaning to take risks in life even if you know the consequences are bad but the outcome would be better. I know i wouldn't haven't been able to do that. I saw the video as well and he barley made it safely on the net, literally on the verge. i also admire the fact that once he got off the net, the first thing he did was hug his wife. Meaning that he is a big family person and id like to find a guy whom is dedicated to his family.

Marvin Goldstein

Over fifty years, Marvin Goldstein has been a praised pianist and a widely known mormon performer. He has recorded nearly 50 albums and has arranged 15 piano solo arrangement books including many sacred hymns which are available to purchase at his online website. 

When he turned 18, he was awarded a music scholarship to Tel Aviv University School of Music in Israel.After that, he transferred to “Mozarteum” of Salzburg, Austria. He completed his Bachelor and Master of Music degrees at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. 

If technology could have advanced sooner, Marvin could have been where he is now years ago. He could have taught himself sooner from a mobile devices app or an alternative. I read that he had taught himself by ear over the radio, so the app thing really could have helped.



I think that his excellence can kind of relate to me in the perspective that id like to get into acting or music. id like to get more into that and transfer into a school that'd teach me more and get me to where id like to be. i admire the fact he taught himself and did not depend on anymore. I will be on T.V one day i can promise you that.
