I can connect with Jackie Robinson becasue i know what he's been through. I have been faced with a team before, that didnt appreciate me for me, just becasue i was someone new and different. Just like Jackie Robinson, they didn't respect me, and they didn't realize that what they did and said hurt. Jackie Robinson is a hero to me, becasue even though people hated and didn't want him playing the sport he loved, h fought through it becasue itwas something he was good at, and he loved the game.
With the 9/11 firefighters, first of all i was alive when the planes crashed into the twin towers, and even though i dont have family in NY, or dont connect to it like that, it still effected me. I thought that at any second, and plane, or a bomb, or a gunshot could come crashing through the window and that would be the end of it. This really got me thinkging and i honor and respect the brave heros that went into the burning building to rescue others. I also saw the movie flight 93 which also really inspired me. Another terrorist had hijacked a plane and was planning to crash it into another building(i'm not exactly sure which one). Some family memebers called their loved ones who were on the hijacked plane and said that two planes had already crashed into the twin towers and thats when they knew that there plane too were under the hands of terrorists. Instead of sitting back and waiting for them to die, they decided to fight back, some people got stabbed, but kept on fighting, the terrorists were forced to crash the plane into a farmers field, which killed all of them, but saved many lives. So when i saw this movie it really inspired me and i tried to think of what i would do in that situation.
