About a week ago Ms.Trenkle showed us the Tuskegee Airmen HBO movie and just days after that Lt. Broadwater and his friend came to our class, to present us with their knowledge and leave us with information for this blog entry. The men told us men many stories about themselves and events from the past. I learned many lessons from their presentation, such as, listen to what people with experience tell you, perseverance, and strive for the best. Throughout their service the Tuskegee Airmen had perseverance; it wasn’t very easy for the men. With fighting enemies in the sky as bomber pilots or fighter pilots, coming back home wasn’t so easy. Being blacks pilots and not having respects from the white citizens, seems like they had no support.
The second lesson that I learned was listen to what people with experience tell you. Lt. Broadwater's friend told us about how his counselor told him to attend McKinley and ended up having a good education that led him to great goals. Also his mother told him to attend the school even though it had white people attending and was so called "bougie".
The third and final lesson that I learned from the presentation was strive for the best. The men had went through many obstacles for their goal. When Lt.Broadwater was young he saw his first plane, and from there on he wanted to be apart of the Tuskegee Airmen and fly planes. Lt.Broadwater's friend had to go to many schools that he hated but with that knowledge he was qualified to be an Air Traffic Control, without going through many tests.
And with these lessons, I learned a lot and grateful that the men came to give the class this information.
Awesome Regg! :)
