Carl Lewis

             Many people don't consider an athlete to have an impact on people's lives. What Carl Lewis does is that he tries to set an example for kids to try and reach their goals, and do what they put their mind to do. He has accomplished many goals in his life and I am sure that he wants to continue them. He really made kids believe in themselves.

His five Olympic appearances are a record for a male athlete. Many of his Olympic performances were in world or Olympic record time.
