chapter 9 review

As black JROTC students we were expected to set examples for other black male. We had to show others we could be cool and be in JROTC also to bust the rate of black males in the program. First sergeant often took us out to eat and kept us hanging with him to do something, just to keep us out the streets. He gave us money when we were broke and couldn’t afford to do something that the other boys were doing and our parents couldn’t do it he would he was one of the coolest teacher I had ever had.

He made it clear that he was only doing it to save us from the streets because he sees potential in us to become better people than the people we were.

 

In chapter nine Carla often pushed Sam and the others to stay focus and to stay in school. She often went in her pocket to pay for expenses for them to stay in school. Carla was on a mission to save black boys from the street. She knew exactly what they was going through when their parents couldn’t afford to pay for Sam, Rameck, and George to stay in school she would find a way to pay for it herself . That’s what First sergeant did for us.

They were on a mission to save us from the streets no matter what it took for them to get us away the went through the extreme to do it.
