When Jesse Owens was a child he was very poor and was abused as a child. When Jesse was in high school he set a world record for the 100 yard dash and the 200 yard dash. Jesse graduated from high school with pretty good grades. He didn’t go to college after high school. Jesse trained everyday to try and get into the Olympics.
Jesse Owen was born in 1936. Jesse had a hard time growing up. He was abused as a child. Jesse was the first African American track star athlete. In high school Jesse broke the 100 meter and 200 meter world record while he was in high school. Jesse overcame adversity with school because his mother didn’t make him go to school but he went anyways and ended graduating with good grades.
Jesse had accomplished a lot in his life time. But I think that he opened a lot of African Americans that liked to run. Jesse also has broke world records. One of the one’s that he said that he feels best about is being the first African American to win the Olympics
I think that Jesse follows education I’m going to school now and passing all my classes, getting A’s and B’s. Life long learning are the keys to life long learning. He was a leader and did what he wanted. He had a motto and it was like “Success is the best revenge”
Jesse Owens grew up around bad people. People that don’t go to school, people that do drugs rob people just all negative people. But Jesse could see through everything Jesse stayed out of trouble, Jesse went to school and graduated. He went to some tech school to go to a better school for track.
