Personal ReflectionMichael Phelps was chosen as the my topic

for this interest project because he was the most decorated Olympian of all time. During this project I have learned a lot about Michael Phelps. For example, I learned that Phelps had a income of 90 million a year.

What I liked about this project is learning so many things about Michael Phelps. Like, where he was born and how much money he makes. Also, I would have never knew that Michael Phelps had is own video game.
