=Being an Olympian Is Hard=

===Being an Olympian is hard because they have to Persevere and practice so much to just get and then to win a medal. It takes alot of courage because they have to do their sport in front of everybody and I would just get sick of being so nervous.===

===They also have to follow a bunch of rules like respect of they other athletes because they could get kicked out of the Olympics for not respecting the other athletes. Like Apollo Ohno is big rivals with the South Koreans but he still respects them and doesn't talk badly about them but they might do it to him but so far they haven't but if they did they would be kicked out. That's why one big rule is respect the athletes don't be mean to each other.===

===One other thing I believe that only some of the athletes have the trait of to just be yourself because it is very important to make friends because that could be hard when your famous because people might think that your snotty and a jerk. One person that defiantly has that who is in the Winter Olympics and she is still in High School. Plus she is a straight A student and she has so many friends. So that's why I think that being your self is another important trait for Olympians.===

===The last but probably the most important trait is Friendship. I believe this because Apollo Ohno has a big rival which is the South Koreans but they are still friends with each other and they don't hate each other but they still are rivals of each other. Also in hockey the American and Canadian teams are rivals but they don't hate each other and almost each Olympian are friends with each other.===
