Flying For Freedom: The Tuskegee Airmen

The Tuskegee Airmen can teach us many valuable lessons that can be used in everyday life, but because there are so many I will share three with you. Race does not determine the level of our ability. I have gained this lesson from the fact that Tuskegee Airmen were more than successful (they never lost a bomber.) Another lesson that can be gained is that you should never give up, even if the obstacles are difficult. I have gained this lesson from Tuskegee Airmen the movie, when Peoples committed suicide, some of the Tuskegee Airmen just quit, but the others stayed true to the commitment to THEIR country. Lastly you can gain the lesson that you can do anything you set our mind to, I have gained this final lesson from the Tuskegee Airmen being a successful experiment overall.

The Mock Hearings

The Mock Hearings were held in Ms. Trenkle's class, it was then split up into groups. My group was made up of Jordan, Evelyn, Mariah (Bob), and Grace. We first had to create an essay for a question that we chose. The question that my group chose was "What Shaped The Founding Father's Thoughts About Government?" Our essay was a bit long but, I am sure we could have gotten to a required pace if I wasn't a slow reader, but even with my slow reading we won. The group is now advancing to the city wide round. Hopefully I can muster up the confidence to not "pause for dramatic effect", as Evelyn says.Overall I believe that the group did well as a whole and that we will prevail in the City Wide! (I hope.)
