The Tuskegee Airmen

I learned a lot from the Tuskegee Airmen, even though I've never met them. They were brave and they persevered through hard times. In the movie we saw about them Benjamin Davis persevered even though he was shunned because he was black. Richard Jones taught us that we should listen to our teachers. His teacher told him that he should go to McKinley high school even though it was a really fancy school. His teacher was right, McKinley was a good school for him. Richard Jones taught me one other thing. If you get an opportunity, you should take it. Even if it is not what you expected. Mr. Jones was told that he was qualified to be an air traffic controller and even though he didn't know what it was he decided to go into training for it. It turned out to be a very good job and he retired when he was fifty.  The Tuskegee Airmen taught me a lot. They changed history and it's pretty hard to do that without learning something that you can tell other people about.
