Albert persevered through being called dumb. He also ventured. He skipped school in spite of getting in trouble. He was noble. In that time and even now kids around the world try to do what he did. Albert had ambition to keep going and pushing.
Albert shows not only his intellegence, but his sense of humor
His words of advice
His life span
Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. entered public school at age 5. In May, 1936 he was baptized, but the event made little impression on him. In May, 1941, Martin was 12 years old when is grandmother, Jennie, died of a heart attack. The event was traumatic for Martin, more so because he was out watching a parade against his parents' wishes when she died. Distraught at the news, young Martin jumped from a second story window at the family home, allegedly attempting suicide.
Martin pushed through seeing his family pass away one by one. He had to push through being African-American and attempting suicide. He was not accepted by whites until he said the speech. He also had to push through his life knowing that he attempted suicide.
Walt Disney
Besides his other interests, Walt attended McKinley High School in Chicago. There, Disney divided his attention between drawing and photography, and contributing to the school paper. At night he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, to better his drawing abilities. On July 13, 1925, Walt married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds, in Lewiston, Idaho. Later on they would be blessed with two daughters, Diane and Sharon . Three years after Walt and Lilly wed, Walt created a new animated character, Mickey Mouse. Walt's kids later loved this character.
Walt had to persevere through having children and still working. They had to make room for time with them. He also had to persevere through his addiction to smoking. He died from lung cancer. No one knew at the time what smoking did to your body.
