Robert Henry Lawrence Jr. was the first African-American astronaut to be selected for space travel. Robert graduated Englewood High School in the top 10 percent of his class. He later became an air force pilot and later was selected for space travel.

Robert Davis was an African American man. He was not a “thug,” he was not a “drunk,” he was a retired school teacher from New Orleans who was in his sixties. He was brutally attacked by three police officers. He suffered a broken nose and other broken bones in his face. The incident was recorded and went viral. Davis was arrested but faced no charges. Three police officers were charged but only two went to trial. In the end, two of the police officers were fired — the third never made it to trial because he had committed suicide. Davis was compensated for the assault.

While men like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson are probably most popularly known to be the greatest of the founding fathers, they were a few great men among many. Of course each played a special role in the construction of the Declaration of Independence and the development of the United States, the most important however and perhaps most frequently forgotten is Pennsylvania delegate, Robert Morris.

As soon as he arrived in America his father, a tobacco based businessman, started little Robert on the path to a valuable education. Robert’s education is what kick-started him on a path of success, this success was not only his but also of America.

The Davis family, with their small brick house, perfectly trimmed lawn, and white picket fence, chipped at the top despite the efforts made to preserve it, display the typical American family. In this average house lives Richard Davis, seventy three, an average man in the 21st century of America, who shares his average story about growing up in the 1900’s.

At Brewton-Parker College, the campuses community is quite small. I cannot decide if it is a good thing that everyone knows each other. Because the school’s population is not quite as high as a big university, everyone knows everyone’s business. No matter what someone does, good or bad, it gets out, but for me the size in beneficial. The less people there are, the less chance I have of getting distracted. I love how small the classes are, too, because my teachers actually knows who I am. Also, when I need help with what we’re learning or I just have a simple question, I can easily ask my teacher, and he or she can help me better understand what is going on. The teachers here, at Brewton-Parker College, are kind and beyond willing to help me, no matter how long it takes; help is always there when I need it. For instance, the library has become my best friend. I like how I can go and have my own table to get a good amount of work done, and the books are such a useful resource for

My first event was when my little sister Makelle was born. There were a lot of things that led up to here being born. One night I had a fight with my sister so to help us to get along my mom pulled us aside saying that she was pregnant and it would help a lot if we could get along better. Then there was the ultrasound, my cousin Kaylee was babysitting us while my parent went to go get an ultrasound, then they would call Kaylee and she would tell us whether it was a boy or a girl. When we got the call we all huddled in the hallway in front of the front door where it was bright from the sun coming through the windows. We were told it was a girl and everyone was elated, except for me because I was really hoping for a baby brother, but I was still happy. Although I overdramatically fell to my knees, closed my eyes, faced the ceiling and shouted noooooooooooo. Then a few months later she was born at the hospital and my family and I all crowded around
