If I Was Someone Famous

If I could go back in history and relive the life of any famous person, I would want to be Jack Roosevelt Robinson. He also went by the nickname Jackie. He was the first African American to ever play for Major League Baseball. He stood up for his race being a leader by doing the unbelievable of that time.

I would want to be the Great Jackie Robinson because he was very athletic. I find myself to be athletic also and I just like being involved with many sports. It would be fun and interesting to live out the life of such an important person in history. Especially since, I would be doing what I like to do now. Jackie Robinson was not only great in one sport. He was an All-American football player, and football is my favorite sport.

Not only was Jackie Robinson very athletic, he was also a great leader. He took the stand that most African Americans would not have taken, by playing for the Major Leagues. By being brave, he accomplished rookie of the year, which showed how strong of a person he could be. He was a leader also by joining in the civil rights movement whenever he was able to. I try to live like that sometimes today because I do not like being a follower.
