An Analysis Of Booker T. Washington's Up From Slavery
"I early learned that it is a hard matter to convert an individual by abusing him, and that this is more often accomplished by giving credit for all the praiseworthy actions performed than by calling attention alone to all the evil done”, quoted from Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery.
My mom was from the heart of Belize and my father was born in Brooklyn, New York. On both sides of my family, my heritage goes way back. Booker T. Washington didn’t know much about his fathers heritage because he said his dad was white and he had no intention of getting to know Booker. I know that I'm a special child because not only do I come from a presidential line of family members, also I have talents no other ordinary teenager has.
My mom came to the United States when she was little. I don’t know much about why she came. Her grandfather, my great grandfather was the prime ruler from 1954 to 2009. He reigned over Belize from the age of 22 to 55. My grandmother told me he was the best prime ruler that Belize has ever had since she …show more content…
was born. My granny worked hard jobs such as welding and construction to keep food on the table." I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed", Booker T Washington Quoted from Up from Slavery. He had goals he wanted to achieve just like my grandmother. He put other people before him and strived for an education.
My dad was totally different.
He was born in the 1970's. When he was a teenager he would always go to school with a mind set of learning more than he did the previous day. He was a hard working man and he would always impress my grandmother. In some ways, he reminds me of Booker T. Washington. Booker T. once said that a man without an education couldn’t even compare to a man with a learning experience who also put his education to work. My dad would work long shifts just for the fun of it. I Truly believed he enjoyed working because that was his gift.
My heritage says a lot about my family, but it doesn’t describe who we are. My mom doesn’t have custody of me and my brothers, but she does what a mother does. My father is incarcerated right now, but he is coming home in a couple of weeks. Our family is strong and full of compassion and love. We make the most out of nothing. Booker T. Washington started out a slave but he became a
inspiration.
