Jackie Robinson Quote Analysis
Notes for a Jackie Robinson Essay:
Obstacle/barrier: Getting bullied
Characteristics: Excellence and persistence
A barrier i faced was being able to be myself and trying to fit in and stand out.
HOOK SENTENCE:“I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me. All i ask is that you respect me as a human being.” These famous words were spoken by the memorable and amazing Jackie Robinson.
This quote is talking about the fact that even though Jackie knew he was different, he still wanted to be treated like every other person. This quote kind of states how I’m now feeling.
Growing up as a little kid, I was always picked on; whether it be my glasses or my height (I was fairly short). When I would go to school, I would get looked at funny and laughed at because of my glasses or height. When i would get on the bus, I was called names by three or four kids.

In sixth grade there was a girl who said she was going to beat me up and called me names.
She did get in trouble, but it never changed anything. Seventh grade was an okay year. Not much drama was in my life, so I was happy. Eighth grade was probably the worst year yet. I Went to school for about 4 months, I then transferred to a different school. It was 25 minutes away from my old school. When I first moved there I didn’t know anybody. The principal showed me around and told me where my classes might be. It was tough the first couple weeks because like I said, I had just moved to a whole new school, with whole new
people.
The first day was ok, sort of. I didn’t get to finish all of my work and i was kind of nervous. People looked at me funny because I didn’t know what I was doing. Some of the teachers helped me, but others just gave me pieces of paper and told me to copy it down. Math was the hardest because they was going over a whole new unit lesson, and I nevered learned that stuff at my old school. It was hard to make friends. I sat with a couple of girls at a lunch table who seemed very likeable. We wouldn’t talk, just sit and eat. There was a group of kids who stared at me and then when i would look at them, they would turn around and laugh. I later figured out that they had a history of bullying so, I was worried. They would always call me names and make me feel bad. It took me 6 months to get used to it and ignore it. When i finally did ignore it, it got better. At the end of the year, I had made multiple friends and I had gotten used to
