Perseverance is finishing something with a struggle because something is holding you back.
Jackie Robinson (Description)
Jackie Robinson is a African American baseball player that wants to break the color barrier in the MLB because he wants to play. When Jackie was young he played in a league specifically for African Americans. When Jackie played in this league he thought he was to good so he wanted to play in the MLB. So Branch Rickey is the coach of the Brooklyn dodgers and he found Jackie Robinson and he asked Jackie if he wanted to play on the dodgers. Jackie played on the dodgers and when he was up to bat the fans said mean names and thew stuff at him because he is an African American playing in a mainly white league. Jackie Robinson had to persevere through these hard names said and the stuff that was threw at him. After Jackie was in the league for a while the MLB started to be more multicultural. At the same time as the league started be more multicultural the fans started to like Jackie more and they actually cheered for him and they didn't throw stuff at him and say mean names. Jackie Robinson started something that helped the MLB. Jackie didn't just help the MLB he helped people gain confidence and to show that people can stand up for what they believe in. Jackie had to venture through all the mean names said to him when he first played in the Major leagues.

Lessons Learned
Three things that people learn from this newsletter are. One thing that people could learn from my newsletter is that there may be something like a disability that can make that event harder. Just because there is a disability that makes that event harder you have to be tough and get through it the best you can. The second thing that someone can learn from my newsletter is that there might be someone that says you cant do it or is saying names that could bring you down. This means that don't give up when someone says something all that you have to remember is to believe in yourself. The third way that people can do exactly like them by changing there life by doing something that lets people have more freedom. What i mean by changing your life is helping people with something or just being kind and not being mean to someone. The last thing that people could learn from my newsletter is that people have to persevere through hard times. What i mean by persevere through hard times is that they have to not give up even if someone thinks you cant do it or if you yourself think you cant do it. This is what you can learn from my newsletter.
