Tuskegee Air Men

Last week, I Quintin was allowed the honor to listen to One of the men who served in WWII. He was one of the 900 Tuskegee Airmen, the first black group of pilots in the Air Force. There where many lessons to learn from Lt. Broadwaters, the man who spoke. I learned that Stereotypes are usually wrong, there was a poll prior to WWII saying blacks were incapable of flying air planes, but the Tuskegee Airmen proved that wrong. I also learned that anyone can do anything, and that intelligence leads to great things in life.

I (Omar) did not get to listen to Lt. Broadwaters, but i did learn a lot in the reading we did in class. I learned alot from the Tuskegee Airmen, like that there are no limits in life, or that there are people in life that try to harm you, and tear you down, but there are people in life that also want to help you. I learned this from the Tuskegee Airmen because they fought in a war during segregation in america, at first blacks weren't allowed to even fly air planes, but people helped push them so that they could, so that now the legacy that people helped the Tuskegee Airmen make, now allows minorities be apart of the Air Force, and other Armed Forces

Mock Trial Project

In History Class we participated in a mock trial competition among schools on the Constitution. First we all had units from 1-6, me and my Co-Blogger Omar had the pleasure of being in the same group. Our group of five had unit 6. In the competition we all had to write 1 paragraph each (5 in all) answering a question, ours was "How Does The Constitution Give And Limit The Powers Of The 3 Branches Of Goverment?". There was about four groups per unit. Our unit won out of our school, along with five other groups.

We later went to a city wide competition. there was six schools there. One by one groups went up to read there paragraphs, and state there arguments. Our group went toward the end of the day. Every 20 Minutes, after groups presented and answered questions, three new judges would come in. All of the scores that each group earned were added together. At the end of the day it was told wich school had the most point, Our school SHMS came in 3rd place.
