The Brave Students of Little Rock Nine


I am one of the different, bright nine. I was the first to finish and shine, Central High School where I made my scene. I’m a Little Rock Nine; Ernest Green. I am one of the lost, special nine. Brown v. Board of Education; sign My life, I was the one against the hoard. I’m Little Rock Nine; Eliza Eckford. I am one of the outcast, brave nine. In schools, I ended that parting line, To stop segregation; was my promise. I’m Little Rock Nine; Jefferson Thomas. I am one of the sad, striving nine. I went to curing as my main line. But never forget my one assert, I’m Little Rock Nine; Terrence Roberts. I am one of the judged, hopeful nine. Graduated from Central, all fine, I’m a real estate now, but those years, I’m Little Rock Nine; Carlotta Lanier. I am one of the tragic, good nine. Saved myself turned to a foul line. To the Central School I’m a hickey. I’m Little Rock Nine; Minni Trickey. I am one of the poor, beaming nine. I traveled around the world to twine, The colors of people is my spark. I’m Little Rock Nine; Gloria Karlmark. I am one of the strange, gentle nine. After the school, I went to teach opine; To children, abused women about care. I’m a Little Rock Nine; Thelma Wair. I am one of the colored, amazing nine. Former student and part of the benign Nine. Who defended their own ideals. I’m Little Rock Nine; Melba P-Beals.

One of my favorite quotes is from Corinthians 1:13 where it talks about love, being not jelous and that they personalize love being kind and patient, which my goal is to be like love. I want to love strangers by doing community service, I love my enemies by trying not to commit my most horrible sin of envy and forgive them if they did me wrong. I want to be love as they described in the bible, and my favorite part is when they state "now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." because I believe in this strongly that love conquers all, will always remain and never fail one, that everybody truly has love inside of them and are loved.
