Sarah
Chang
is described by other musicians as "the most wonderful, perfect
violinist" they have ever heard. What makes this praise
especially surprising is that she's really young and people (describe)
her this way for years. On Sarah's fourth birthday, her father gave
her a violin. By age 5, she was accepted at the famous Juilliard
School of Music, in New York City. By 8, she was performing as a
violin soloist with major orchestras.
Before

was born, the doctors warned his parents that he might have learning
difficulties, but Michael (prove)

home with his parents, Michael completed four grade levels each year.
At 5, he entered high school, and finished in one year. By 10, he
graduated from college with honors. At 11, he went to graduate
school.
When
Alexandra
