Yuri Gagarin was born in a family with four children, as was I. He is also only 5'2, which is also my height. At the age of 16 and 17, Yuri Gagarin started to train as a Soviet air cadet at a local flying club. This has a connection to my grandfather who trained to be a pilot too and became one. Yuri Gagarin also loved to play sports such as ice hockey and basketball. Some people who knew him would say that besides his positive and playful attitude, he was very focused and determined. I can relate to that because when I'm in practice, I try my best to be focused on everything I do. Also, if I want to reach a goal, then I'd want others to have the same goal so that we can all get there as a team.
