Charles Lindbergh was born in February 4 1902 in Detroit. He became a pilot in his young years. Later in World War 2 he flew fighters in the pacific. He married Anne morrow. But what made him a famous pioneer? He was the first person to fly across the Atlantic. On May 21 1927 Charles Lindbergh flew The Spirit of Saint Louis from New York to Paris. The flight took him 33 hours and 30 minutes. He became a huge sensation for crossing the Atlantic. Before this it would take a few days to travel by boat across the Atlantic now it seemed that it could be done in just a day. He made the world seem a smaller place than it did before. Today the flight from New York to Paris is done in around 7 hours. The reason he flew across the Atlantic was because of a $25,000 cash prize for the first

Jane went to Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia in the fall of 1882. Later in the 1880’s Jane traveled to Europe where she visited a settlement house by the name of Toynbee Hall. Settlement houses were the country’s way of providing community services to the poor. Addams and her friend, Ellen Gates Starr, the Hull House in the lower income section of Chicago in 1889. Most of the residents who lived there were from countries such as Italy, Russia, Poland, Germany, Ireland, and Greece. Hull House provided a day care center for children of working mothers, a community kitchen, and visiting nurses. Addams and her staff gave classes in English literacy, art, and other subjects. Hull House also became a meeting place for clubs and labor unions. Most of the people who worked with Addams in Hull House were well educated, middle-class women. Hull House gave them an opportunity to use their education and it provided a training ground for careers in social work.

Jane Addams and her colleague, Ellen Gates Starr, founded the most successful settlement house in the United States otherwise known as the Hull-House (“Settlement” 1). It was located in a city overrun by poverty, filth and gangsters, and it could not have come at a better time (Lundblad 663). The main purpose of settlement houses was to ease the transition into the American culture and labor force, and The Hull-House offered its residents an opportunity to help the community, was a safe haven for the city, and led the way through social reform for women and children.

Another goal of theirs was to improve city life. The Hull House wasn’t just a place where immigrants could participate in programs and learn, but it was a place where they were able to feel safe and get the support and assistance they needed to live a normal life in the large city of Chicago.

The Hull House was the “flagship of movement” in the late 19th century and early 20th century (Chicago Planning History). It was established in 1889 by Ellen Gates Starr and Jane Addams to help poor immigrants with many of their needs, including education. The Hull House started out small, solving small problems in its neighborhood, but soon grew bigger as more immigrants joined and sometimes even protested for causes on the government level. The Hull House helped immigrants achieve their dreams for their new lives in Chicago. When Jane Addams encountered a problem in immigrant education, it led her to explore the new concept of educating immigrants. The teachers at the Hull House exchanged knowledge with the immigrants to achieve

Born on March 26, 1930, in El Paso, Texas, to Harry and Ida Mae Day, O’Connor was raised on her family’s cattle ranch in Arizona, the Lazy B (biography.com). While she was young, her family did not have access to electricity, so O’Connor grew up branding cattle, and fixing anything broken by hand. By the age of four, O’Connor had already learned how to read, and her parents were desperate for her to one day move out of the remote location in which they lived, so that she could get the best education possible. Harry and Ida Mae sent her back to El Paso to live with her grandmother, where she would spend her school years, then summers back on the Lazy B. While in El Paso, she attended Radford School for Girls, and Austin High until she graduated

When asked to write a story about my family I chose the tale on how my dad and his family came to America in the 1970’s. Acee Jr. along with his younger brother and parents moved to America from Guyana, a country in South America. The reason for the move was to further Acee Sr.’s education in multiple subjects including Psychology and was possible due to the financial help the family received from the church Sr. was a minister at. The story tells of the transition the Chapman family had to make to adjust to the American Life. It also shows the struggles that challenged the family throughout their first couple of years in the States.

It was only after I brought my family out, however, that I began to have major issues. I had barely been able to provide for myself, but with a wife and two boys, it soon became clear that I needed more than I had. Fortunately, there was a furnishing merchant’s store nearby that allowed me to make my payments after the harvest. This worked well for us for some time, but in the mid-1880s, “grains prices fell so low that [we had to burn] corn for heat” (Burns 181). Even a good harvest was no longer enough to sustain my family. I “became shackled to one crop and one merchant” (Burns 181).
