Greetings! I would like to begin by complimenting you on supporting your answer. However, there are quite a lot of grammatical errors throughout this essay. Secondly, you should talk about how Michael Jordan had so many fans who idolize him because of his different characteristics, such as his leadership, undying persistence, and love for the game (not just his basketball skills). You could also have talked about his style of play. For an essay written in 30 minutes, you did a good job.

Nice work, Shih-han.

Your essay does what it's supposed to do. It poses a thesis and then supports it. And you have accomplished that nicely.
Grammar aside, I have only one issue with the content. You say in your thesis that you want to meet Michael Jordan because you play basketball. But, you see, according to your essay, that's not the real reason you want to meet that superstar. The real reason is that you admire him for a number of reasons which you discuss.

Do you see the difference?
Think about it for a moment - it will make sense to you.

Good work,

That is a good point made by Phil. It will be more powerful if you do not start by saying "I want to meet Michael Jordan, because I love playing basketball." Instead, say something like this:
