Misty Copeland

Great article. Misty seemed to defy all the odds against her, whether it was her personal life or mastering a technique that usually takes years to perfect. I have never heard of her prior to this article, but thanks to the detail within the article i feel like im caught up on who she is and what she stands for. It was interesting to read about the fall out with her mother and the support from her coach trying to help her reach this dream she had been working towards.

This was a very well written article that demonstrated the different realities that people endure at the hands of others. But it also showed how a young girl would not let others people’s idea of her judge the way she would conduct herself and most especially her passion. She used her struggle to blossom into the woman she is today as she inspires a new wave of young girls as their role model.

This article is touching and provides a story that proves with hard work you can accomplish your goal. Misty Copeland seems like a very talented dancer and I’m glad to read that her talent was noticed while she was young. Even though she had problems at home I’m glad she turned her feelings into something positive that allowed her to grow out of a negative cycle and earn her a place among great artists.

this is a great article about an inspiring story of a trailblazer who paved the way for other young aspiring african american ballerinas. I am a true admirer of any trailblazer because they are the ones with the unbelievable amount of courage to be the first of their kind even under immense criticism. To see misty’s struggles and her come out victorious is deeply moving.

This article shows how hard work and dedication can allow you to follow your dreams. She showed great courage and showed African American women and girls that they can do any and everything they set their minds to. It also was interesting to read about her life when she was young and how she was able to overcome her obstacles. This was a very well written and thought out article.

I enjoyed this article a great deal due to a different perspective that the article gives on someone making their way from the bottom to the top. The article touches base on how she came to the dance and ballet community followed by the adversity she went through. It was not only because she was a minority but also because of her family struggles and conflict with the family that was able to sponsor her. This article is well written and I really enjoyed the topic even though I have no knowledge of ballet or who the subject is.

This article does a great way in showing how a hardworking woman can overcome adversity and reach her goal. Misty Copeland proves that besides everything life throws at you and all the negative energy thrown and yo by others you can always succeed. Through hard work and commitment she was able to pursue her dream and be recognized worldwide. This is a great article and it’s a great way to inspire readers to reach for their goals.

Misty is a true role model, her hard work and perseverance to never give up is very inspirational. The fact that Misty started ballet late really shows that when you love and are dedicated to something, nothing can stop you. I really enjoyed reading about Misty Copeland and everything she endured to be one of the greatest. Incredible job on your article and images, Hanadi.

First off, I like the pictures shown in this article, very nicely taken by the photographer. This article basically shows another cliché example of hard work paying off, good on her. I have never actually heard of Misty Copeland before, nor have I read about ballerinas in general but Misty seems like someone who really went all out to achieve what she wanted.

I enjoyed reading this article. I don’t know much about ballet or ballerinas, but this was an incredible story and the author did great job. The fact that Misty almost had to emancipate her self from her mother must have been tough. Misty truly defied all expectations and set the bar higher than anyone could have imagined. Great Job.
