Losing to Win
In the video Losing to Win the lady jags the basketball team were faced with alot of adversities to overcome. Although the girls were on a 218 losing streak, the coaches used the losing streak to teach the girls that they can persevere.
Throughout all the girl’s lives they have had a lot of adversities including parents not being there, being abused, abusing drugs them and their parents. At first being on the basketball team didn’t help them it just made them feel even worse about themselves, they didn’t trust each other because every time they had trusted someone it had just hurt them even more. For their whole lives they have been facing all these problems and not many of them do get to go back to their normal school because people don’t like to be near them because of the adversities they have faced.The answer to solving all their problems was to get them onto the basketball team to help them trust each other and to help them just get away from all the hard times that they have had to faced throughout their lives. It helped show them that anyone can become family if you just trust them. It made them notice that other people have problems and they are not alone.
In conclusion going to Carroll Academy was very helpful to them and it made them make the good choices that helped them persevere through all the hardships in life.
Jackie Robinson the Most Popular Baseball Player
Jackie Robinson was a very famous baseball player in 1947, he gave a lot resilience to become the famous baseball player he is today. because of the things that people did to the African American’s is the reason why Jackie Robinson and people like Rosa Parks are famous. The question is why did people not like African Americans? was it because they looked different, or because they just wanted someone to be in the lower class so they could be better than them, but they didn’t realize that when they put themselves above African Americans that only actually helped the African Americans even more in the long run and showed perseverance and tenacity which means the will to go on which all African Americans had to have to help them persevere.
Since Branch Rickey has taken a chance on Jackie Robinson all African Americans got more hope that Americans could and will choose them to help lead something bigger that Americans cannot because of the hole that the Americans have put the African Americans into. The main difficulty that Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson had to overcome was the people that didn’t want the African Americans to get into the same class as them but eventually they got everyone onto the same page.
In the end Jackie Robinson became a famous person not because of how good he was at baseball but because of how the Americans were treating all African Americans in his time, and how Branch Rickey was helping him through the adversities that the Americans have done to not just him but all the African Americans.
