Perseverance
By: Reagan Mathew
My Personal perspective on perseverance
When I think of the word perseverance, i think of a person who fights for what they believe in even if there are obstacles. When a person shows perseverance, they fought through struggles to reach there goals and they don't say no because they believe that no isn't an option. A lot of athletes show perseverance through medical conditions and physical appearance.
Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson was the first African American man in the MLB. He was paid more than the average African american man of his time because of segregation. He was would be booed when he would go up to bat and people would throw food at him and even his own teammates weren't supportive. He would have hard time but he would persevere through his adversities and that is why he will be remembered forever in baseball.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Knowing that when Eleanor was little, her mother would call her "Ugly Duckling" and in today she is known as "Woman of the World" She is very important to Americas history. she had to persevere through many obstacles to get where she was. She had to deal with her husband getting sick and then dealing with her husband cheating on her. She had to try to negotiate with her husbands mother so that She would let Eleanor husband stay in office so that he can do what he loves. She overthrew her and Franklin stayed president for his entire term. She will never be remembered as "Ugly Duckling". She will always be remembered as "Woman of the World."
Catching Kayla
Kayla Montgomery is a natural performer. She started on the soccer team but then went to the doctor because when she would play and start to sweat, She would have a numb feeling in her legs. Her doctor told her that she had been diagnosed with MS( Multiple sclerosis) Her doctor to her that if she got any contact to her legs that she would fall and would not e able to get up. She immediately quit soccer but she knew most people with MS did not live long lives and she wanted to live it to most and stay active and that's why she joined the track team. She started to run and she wouldn't be able to feel her legs while she was running. Which also meant that since she couldn't feel her legs, then she wouldn't know how to stop. Her coach would have to catch her after every run but she was willing to keep going. she would say that you never know if just wake up one day and cant feel your body,
Jackie Robinson vs. Eleanor Roosevelt
Jackie and Eleanor are both very similar with there triumphs but they also have a lot of struggles along the way. including the fact that they both got ridiculed from society and got treated very poorly. They also have many differences. Including when Jackie would get ridiculed by the crown and the other team when Jackie would go up to bat. And when Eleanor Roosevelt
How to Describe the "Woman of the World"
She was very intelligent and wise. People thought that she was very confident as she grew older and because her om wasn't there to make her lose her confidence so she grew a lot of confidence over the years before she met Franklin. she was always happy to help children because one of her favorite things to do was to help children feel special and not how she felt as a child. She was very helpful to the community and she always thought of others before herself. She would never give up on what she believed in and she never gave in. She versed many adversities along the way though. she had to deal with the fact that her husband had grown very ill and was diagnosed with poliomyelitis, while he was in office. But that didn't stop her when she stood up to her stepmother to let Eleanor's husband stay in office and she won the argument.
