Oh America !

President Kennedy believes true progress results from nations working together for change. In his speech , John F. Kennedy Jr. Stated " My fellow Americans , ask not what you're country can do for you , but what can you do for your country." This means that Instead of just waiting on our country to do everything and help us , why can't we get working and help the country yourself. How you may ask ? Simple , just helping doing small things for the country or the world can impact each other, and help us get stronger as a nation. And probably encourage and work together to understand other nations and support them. Also president Kennedy stated " let both sides explore what unites us instead of belaboring those problems which divides us." What President Kennedy means is that nations should come together and work together on our problems that we have in common or against each other , and fix it. Instead  of working solo on different problems against others and do more work that will just bring problems to America. Similar to the story of civil right leaders , what they wanted is to bring black and whites together , to have equal rights and both come together to make a impact on the world.

St.Patricks Day!

St. Patrick's is a holiday that is celebrated on March 17 it is known to be a religious and cultural. It is a holiday mainly for the Irish. St. Patrick is known to be a patron saint and apostle of Ireland. It is said that he died on March 17 , 461. As time went on, more legend came across about Saint Patrick in the Irish culture. if you where wondering why they use the clover its because, one of the legends is the holy trinity: father,the son and the holy spirit (history.com,2013) , which represents the 3 leaves of a clover. The first Irish parade was held here in the united states, and not in Ireland ...shocking huh? lol. I think its a very interesting holiday, that i always heard of , but never really knew what it was, until now.

The "odd ball"

• How do people generally react to those who are willing to step outside the box of comfortability and normalcy and behave in a way that is considered unconventional or unacceptable?
• Why was it so important for Don Haskins to think different?

People generally react who are willing to step outisde the box of comfortability and normalcy and behave in a way that is considered unconventional because they want to be different or unique, or maybe even just be equal. In the movie don Haskins says to a young colored man " i don't see color, i see quick, i see skill, and that's what you have." This shows that Don Haskins, didn't care about what race his players where or what color they where, but their ability to play basketball. Don Haskin, was a white man , but nothing discouraged him with having a mostly black basketball team. Even though, he was putting to much for himself at risk. It was important for Don Haskin to think different because, he showed equality and a part of civil rights. White people where very cruel to colored people, but Don haskin was the odd ball, he didn't care, he proved that color men can play as well or even better then white men. Which is why  his team watch NCAA championship. I can relate to this because I honestly HATE racism so much. Every time i see movies or something related towards any other people that weren't white, really aggravates me. I believe in equality no matter what. This reminds me of "Glory road" which of course was based on it but , the movie explains most of what Don Haskin and his players had to go through. Just like in the story, throughout the world people have gone through the same thing. Which is why there where the civil rights movement. Most of us know of Martin Luther King, but he was also a person who stepped outside the box and thought that what was going on during his existence and before was wrong. Which is why he fought and worked really hard, including putting his life out there, for us to be where we are now.... the "promise land."
