Jermyla Johnson- As I played tennis and golf I said "No matter what accomplishments you make,somebody helped you."I also think that being a star is great,but that dose not mean nothing I say"Being champion is all well in good,but you can't eat a crown."As I played I thought "In the field of sports you are more or less accepted for what you do rather than what you are."'Most of us who aspire to be tops in our field's don't really consider the amount of work required to stay at the tops." I think that some people think that they are at the top forever but when they make poor choices keep making it to the bottom and go down,and go down,down.

ReplyDeleteYasmin Lozano: I really like how you put the dates and the places the events happened at.I think you should work more on putting it in a time line.Then you should maybe talk more about her hard struggels.
DeleteYasmin Lozano:I was the first african american tennis player to compete at the U.S National Championship in 1950 and the first black player to compete at Wimbledon in 1951.I also broke the racial barriers in professional golf.''Gibson blazed a new trail in the sport of tennis,winning some of the sports biggest titles in the 1950's and broke racial barriers in professional golf as well.''"But failing to win on the courts,she eventally returned to tennis.""but just as her early childhood had been ,Gibson's last few years were dominated by hardship."
