Rough Draft

A person that really inspires me is Anastasia Valeryevna Liukin, or Nastia Liukin, a world famous gymnast. She has many characteristics to describe her, but no matter what, she is always perseverant, smart, and hard working.
I think Nastia Liukin is perseverant because, even though she’s really good at gymnastics, she never stops trying to do better and get even bigger skills. She never gives up and tries her hardest every day.
Nastia Liukin is also very smart because she is good at balancing her time between gymnastics and having a normal life. She is really good at gymnastics and practices every day, but Nastia still has time to go on facebook to chat with her friends and go to the movies.
Nastia is extremely hard- working. To be and stay that talented , you have to practice a lot. She has two practices every day and wakes up at around six in the morning for her first practice. Also, Nastia Liukin is only twenty years old, and she has already gone to the Olympics, won a gold medal, created her own move on beam and even started her own line of gymnastics apparel.
Anastasia Valeryevna Liukin is a very good role model to me, and she inspires me to try harder in everything I do. I hope I can someday learn to balance my life like she does, so that way I can actually have time to hang out with friends. She will continue to inspire me throughout my life.
