Many know of the Montgomery Bus boycott when Rosa Parks was not allowed to sit in front of the bus. In addition, that was the day when the blacks of Montgomery, Alabama, decided that they would boycott the city buses until they could sit anywhere they wanted, instead of being relegated to the back when a white boarded.
Moving along, when in history class we were talking about the boycott, My history teacher told us that none of the class could be able to walk for many miles. While she was stating this, I was thinking to myself that I could do it.
Seconds later Mr. Mark Anthony walked inside the room and said in front of the whole classroom that I if I was in that time period, I would be able to make a difference and walk for many miles. He embarrassed me in front of the room but in away I truly felt happy that he believed in me that if something like this happen in 2009, I would be able to make a difference and walk many miles without using transportation. In a way I know that anything I want in life can come true. All I need is a lot of determination and passion to make a difference.
