    I think her work is celebrated becuase she was always following her dreams even if it was really really hard.

    I think what Shaquille O'neal did a great job at what he did. I think his work is celebrated because he just started as a rookie then quikly progressed to a basketball super star

    Shaquille O'Neal
    In our opinion making the Orlando Magic team when he was only in high school is his most amazing achievement. Although there are many other achievements.

    Shaquille O'Neil
    When he was in his teenage years he slamed dunk and bent the rim. Our oponion he was one of the best player's on the team's that he was on. He was a M.V.P. in 2004, and he had his own ceral box cover for Wheaties.

    Frederick Douglass' greatest achievement was being able to speak out against slavery despite being self educated
