Angela's feedback:

"You provide solid reasoning to support the stance that perseverance is more important than talent for success in life. Addressing writing convention errors will strengthen the quality of your work. For example, run-on sentences should be recast to smooth out the flow of your writing and a final read through should be done to clarify phrases such as "a substantial of luck." While you handle vocabulary words well for the most part, note that "work ethics" is better expressed as "work ethic." Also, someone who has competed in the Olympics is usually called an "Olympian" with a capital O. Terms such as "innate" and "innate talent" should not be placed in quotation marks (i.e., you should not be using scare quotes for them). The first line of each paragraph should be indented by half an inch, and periods should be placed before a closing quotation mark in American English. Your page number header should be formatted in the same font type and size as your main body text."
