7 Important Quotes “I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” “If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

9 What I learned… Before this presentation I knew that Michael Jordan is the greatest person to ever play the game of basketball. I never knew that he had a huge gambling problem- by gambling millions of dollars. I could improve my presentation by being more specific in his personal and personality traits when I was just brainstorming and gathering my information for this project. I was satisfied about the new information that I learned about Michael Jordan and how inspirational he truly is to the industry of basketball. If I was grading this project I would give myself an “a” because I have the quality that Ms. Miller was looking for and completely answered what was needed to finish this project. The opportunity that I would take if I could redo this assignment was to try my project on Prezi.
