Why Change Matters

Like Jackie Robinson, Melba Patillo Beals broke the color barrier by attending an all white-school. A life-changing experience that Beals faced was being the first African American to attend an all white-school. According to the text in paragraph 28, it stated, “We stepped up the front door of Central High School.” This means that Beals was walking in front of an all white school. The events challenged Beals because a lot of soldiers were forbidding the Beals from Central High. In paragraph 15, the paragraph states,” ...They surrounded us like a protective cocoon.” This reveals that the soldiers were forbidding them. These events caused her to grow and develop by making herself more confident. In paragraph 16, the text states,” If these guys just go with us this first time, everything’s going to be ok.” This means she was confident that everything was going to be ok.” These events changed Beals society since she was the first black person to attend Central High, now other blacks can attend Central High too. This is how Melba Pattillo Beals broke the color barrier.

In the book Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals, the author describes what her reactions and feelings are to the racial hatred and discrimination she and eight other African-American teenagers received in Little Rock, Arkansas during the desegregation period in 1957. She tells the story of the nine students from the time she turned sixteen years old and began keeping a diary until her final days at Central High School in Little Rock. The story begins by Melba talking about the anger, hatred, and sadness that is brought up upon her first return to Central High for a reunion with her eight other classmates. As she walks through the halls and rooms of the old school, she recalls the

“For example, Ruby Bridges an African American at the age of six went to a white school, the first African American to go to a white school.” Ruby was on the Oprah show and in a magazine named The Problem We All Live With(“Ruby Bridges”). After Ruby went through white school she became a civil rights activist to help problems like Ruby went through(“Ruby Bridges”). As a result ruby has changed the world and risen to fame and is admired by not only African American people but white people too.

She didn't know this at the time, but the test was supposed to determine which black students would be allowed to attend a white school. Ruby was a very bright girl and aced the test. After that, her parents were told that she could attend the local white school and begin the integration of black students with white students. At first her father didn't want her to go to the white school. He was afraid that it would be dangerous. There were a lot of white people who were angry and didn't want Ruby at their school.

Everyone comes to a point in their life when they face a challenge that could potentially change their lives. The excerpts “I Never Had It Made” (Robinson), “Warriors Don’t Cry” (Beals), and “Guts” (Gary Paulsen). Jackie Robinson, Gary Paulsen, and Melba Beals all faced life changing events that shaped their lives and changed their country.

As Beals stated, “Step by step we climbed upward where none of my people had ever before walked as a student.” This quote explains that segregationist mobs “threw out” black people, because of the color of their skin, from white -high schools. It also shows that she was one of the nine black people/students that stopped segregation and discrimination in schools for her country. Also, to add to that, almost everyone was rude and yelled racial slurs, while the mobs were vet unhappy and gave threats; physically and verbally. As Beals stated, “Some of the white people looked totally horrified, while others raised their fists to us. Others shouted ugly words.” This quote shows how the white people (mobs) were rude and shouting “ugly words” and racial

Melba Beals was one of the first black students to integrate into a full white school in Arkansas. Before she could go to the new school, the Governor of Arkansas, commanded a National Guard to block the path to the white school, however president Eisenhower wanted these blacks to integrate, so he arranged some guards to take the nine, black students into the school. Beals had to face bountiful obstacles such as a National Guard, the Arkansas governor, angry segregationist mobs, rejection from white schools, and being racially insulted. She said that on the way to her school, she took “the path the Arkansas National Guard has blocked us(nine black students) from days before. . . and crossed the threshold into that place where angry segregationist

Change can be a enormous word in an insignificant way . While, no one wants to change, they love the transition once the results are in. Personally ,I would have a meeting with my staff to inform them about the floor plan . Thus, asking for feedback on the plans would ensure that they feel their opinion is valued. Furthermore, I would explain the reason for the changes to come ,and inform the staff on the study that was the foundation for the modification . Talking straight would help the unit to comprehend the goals and encourage staff to give feedback. Respect of others apprehensive of the change is important to acknowledge .Although, as a manger you can’t always appease everybody , I would have a talk with the staff that is spreading negativity in a nonjudgmental way, to see how we can work toward a command goal. Opening up communication to build trust would be the motivation goal.

Gandhi, the man who inspired human rights movements worldwide all by dramatically living the simple nonviolent life he preached, once said “you must be the change you want to see in this world”. We now see this quote everywhere; at churches, yoga centers, political rallies, on workshop flyers, and bumper stickers. But what does “be the change” mean? To be the change means to want, choose and commit your actions to do the right thing.

Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.
