Hi! I’m Jackie Robinson! I’m so happy to be here to talk to you all about my life! I worked hard for my family. I got in trouble a lot when I was little, the police watched me carefully when I was little, it’s because I stole things from store’s and shop’s, but my family and friend’s helped me to be a responsible, loyal, young student. I was born on January 31, 1919. My family was poor when I was little.

 

When I was in high school I was very athletic, but in high school and college I had to drink from a different water fountain then white people. I mean seriously, that is just wrong. The only thing that’s different between us is skin color. Like I said I was very athletic person. I played many sports. But the most famous sport I played is baseball! I was the first African American person to be in a major baseball league! Ohh! Back in the olden days! People didn’t like me just because of my skin color. I mean seriously. Naha girlfriend!  I got married to my wife! She’s so pretty! Then I had three kids, David, Shoran and, Jackie jr. I died in 1972 from old age. It was a sad day. Well.
