training.She was the only girl.Claressa now has a boxing record of 23 wins and zero losses.“I think youre great，” her dad told her not long ago.Hes proud that she proved him wrong.Boxing can be dangerous.How does Claressa feel when she steps into the boxing ring (拳击场)？“Im not nervous.And Ive never gotten into the ring thinking that a girl can beat me.” she says.But Claressa takes the

courses from anywhere in the world.Anyone who wants to learn something can enroll (注册)into a good school offering online courses and complete their education.Besides being convenient，there is no age limit；one can take a course anytime and at any point in their career.Online learning also means that people have more time for their own life while continuing their education.They are able to learn when its convenient for them，and in many cases the courses can be completed in less time than at a traditional school.People can go to work during the day and finish their homework at night.Parents can spend time with their children and then complete online classes when their children are in school or asleep.Since people dont have to take part in any classroom activities，it does not do any harm

expensive and not suitable for a lot of people.Through online learning，one can save a lot.People dont have to spend more money on traveling，staying in hotels or eating in restaurants.Online courses are a good choice for those who are short of money but want to learn something and improve themselves.According to the US Department of Education，students learning online have not only saved a lot of

with themselves，online learning can be a real challenge.For busy people who take online classes，time management can be a challenge.They have to decide for themselves when to work on class tasks and

play football again.In 1992，his recovery really began to pick up steam.It has taken years to rebuild his shattered (破碎的) life，but today，more than 20 years since his playing days，Terry is a popular public speaker.He tells his inspiring story of perseverance (坚持不懈) and courage.“Never forget，were all in this game of life together.We will get to the finish line，one day at a time，one moment at a time，but celebrate the journey.Seize today，because yesterday is gone and is never coming back.”As the subject of the most watched Canadian movie of 2005，The Man Who Lost Himself，Evanshen says his
