Our class thinks that Misty is inspiring. In the article "Star Ballerina", it states she was the first African American to earn the title of the principal dancer. This tells me that she is probably inspiring other girls to also be ballerinas that are not typical looking ballerinas. Also, in the article "Firebirds", Misty shared that she used dance to dance her fear and worry away about not feeling like she fit in. This inspires people to do something like dance to help themselves when they are feeling bad or not a part of something like she was. Finally, Misty's success helped break racial barriers because most ballerinas used to be frail and white. She proved you didn't have to be this type of ballerina when she became a successful ballerina.

Claim. My claim about the text, " star ballerina" is that she can never give up and say this is ipossible. She always works hard to achieve a goals and to teach others. In the text "firebird" she wass telling us how she faces challeges and how great it is to do something new. She never gives up she jumps back in. Evidence. My evedence is that in the first text in the time for kids it said after a seirois injury. She is a very good ballerina now.

Misty is helpful. She helps other people get a chance to dance. In the part “ Dancer's Dreams” Misty traveled to Rwanda, in Afercia, to help a group called MindLeaps start a dance progam for girls.

CLAIM: I think Misty is inspriring and hopeful. I think she is hopeful because she said to be yourself and don't be like the person next to you. Misty is inspiring because she became a principal dancer.
