Carl & Margaret Karcher

• The excellence that was achieved by these two people is that they founded Carl's Jr.
• This excellence was achieved by being arete people and achieving what they wanted. They never gave up, even when the started small they ,managed to become one of today's most popular food chains.
• This arete experience could have been impacted by technology by making them lose focus of what they wanted to achieve. They would've focused more on technology stuff then in their food stand.
• Reflection: I think that this excellence achieved was great because if it weren't for them trying to accomplish something, they wouldn't have Carl's jr. one of the most famous fast food places. I learned that if i want something in life i should work hard and not give up. I should also live an arete life.

    Mia Hamm

• This excellence that was achieved by Mia Hamm was competing in the U.S Women's National soccer team for 17 years and won the Women's world Cup in 1991 and 1999. Not only that but she won Olympic Gold Medals in 1996 and 2004.
• This excellence was achieved by training and never giving up. Also she was an arete person that always worked hard for what she wanted until she achieved it.
• Technology may have impacted this arete  experience by not letting her concentrate. For example nowadays people get so caught up using technology that they forget that there are other things to do that just use technology. Since back then there was little to no technology, she didn't lose her focus from what she achieved.
• Reflection: I think that this is a wonderful thing that she was able to accomplish . This is because some people choose to give up and not go on with their goal. Not only that but she is an excellent role model to young athletes that want what she did.

Luke Aikins

• The excellence achieved by Luke Aikins is being an expert at the skydiving discipline of diving.
• The excellence was achieved by being an arete person and learning how to be a person that has great excellence.
• Technology could have impacted him and the arete part of him because he could have used other methods of skydiving without being an arete person.
• Reflection: I think that this excellence achieved was a good challenge because now other people that want to do the same as Luke Aikins can really push themselves to be like him and learn how to be arete people in life. Some lessons of life that i learned from this man is that if you want something really bad you must work hard for it and never quit.

• The excellence that was achieved here was becoming an acclaimed pianist and well sought performer. At the age of 18, he was awarded a music scholarship to a music university in Israel. He has also recorded more than 50 albums and has also arranged over 15 piano solo arrangements.

• This excellence was achieved by being an arete person. 

• Technology may have impacted this arete experience by letting him be more of an arete person and getting to know about being arete.

• Reflection: I think that this is a great arete experience. This is due to the fact that he followed arete and he became a very well known person that achieved what he wanted. I have learned that if I am an arete person I will be able to achieve anything just like Marvin Goldstein.
