    I admire Bessie Coleman the most because of how she faced her fears and how she wouldn't attend to flight shows only if blacks could go through the same gate as whites.

    4. I most admire Besssie Colmen because she is very brave. I also admire her because she flew in a plane to France so she could get her flight lisence. I would have never done that! She is my hero!

    I do think getting a new career can change someones life.Because Babe Didrikson said she wanted to be the greatest athlete.She didn't say woman athlete.But it turned out she did.

    3.A challenge can change your life. For example when Bessie Coleman's plane control were jammed she died beecause of a challenge. Also when everyone called Hank names it was a challenge because you probably don't want to play if no one likes you.
    4. I most admire Babe Didrikson. Because when she got sores on her hands she bandeged them and kept going. Also when she had cancer she played then, too. Plus she was not afraid to try a new sport.

    4/17/2009 11:44:36 AM
  • chris

    I think meeting a challenge can change someones life because their challenge could be to win a gold medal at the olympics. If that person won they would probably become famous.

  • Mason

    Well they are both careers but they are different things.Bill Melendez animates things and Babe Didrikson plays sports.

    Well Hank Greenburg was Jewish and Bessie Coleman was a African American Woman.Hank got picked on by other people because he was Jewish. Coleman would't get exepted by flight schools.

    4/21/2009 2:09:16 PM
  • jake

    Bessie Coleman and Hank Greenburgs problems are alike because people are treating them badly because of where they are from.
    their careers are not alike because sports are rough and drawing is calm.

    4/22/2009 9:07:30 AM
  • Adam

    3.Yes I do think meeting a chalange.Can change someones life like Bessie Coleman taking care of her family.

    1.they both had problems but theyare difrent becdause bessie.Was a pilot and Hank was a base ball player.
    2.No I don't think Bills career is like Hanks career becuse Bills job is harder because you have to think more than a baseball player.
    4.I most admire Bill Melendez cause I like drawing stuff that just comes to me and thats why I admire Bill Melendez.

    1.Bessie Coleman's problem was that she had to go all the way to France to fly. Hank Greenberg's problem was that everyone called him names. The problems are alike because Bessie Coleman was probably called names too.
    2.Yes. Those careers are alike because Bill Melendez can draw sports. But Babe Didrikson can play sports. Also it never said Bill Melendez can't play sports.

    4/22/2009 9:54:03 AM

    Hank and Bessies problems are alike because people didnt treat them like regular people.They are different because shes black and hes jewish.

    4/22/2009 9:59:27 AM
  • Ryan

    Babe and Bill's carrers are alike because they are good at them.They are different because atheletes dont draw.2.If they get through the challenge they will keep doing it.

    Bessie Coleman and Hank Greenberg died doing what they loved. Hank Greenberg died of old age. Bessie coleman died in a plane crash.

    4/23/2009 9:22:07 AM
  • chris

    The careers arent the same because sports and drawing arent alike.

    4/23/2009 9:47:00 AM
  • Peyton

    Bessie Coleman was an African American woman so
    no one wanted to teach her.Hank Geenburg was teased because he was Jewish.Their problems are different because Bessie wanted to be an Aviator and Hank dreamed of being an Allstar.That's how their problems are alike and different.

    4/24/2009 9:09:51 AM
  • Peyton

    Yes I think meting a challenge can change someones life.For example Babe Ruth became an athete.Bill Melendez became an animaterThat's why I belive meeting a challenge can change some ones life.

  • Wyatt

    1.They're alike because they both had courage.They're different because Hank was a base ball player. Bessie coleman was a pilot. 2. No because a artist draws a sports player plays.

    4/29/2009 9:54:20 AM
  • Clairebear Mansfield

    #2.No because anamation is not a sport like baseball or basketball is.

    4/29/2009 9:57:46 AM
  • dane

    1.Bessie's and Hank's problems are alike because they had courage.They are difdferent because Bessie is a piolot and Hank is a a baseball player. 2.Yes,Because animators can have sports in them.

    4/30/2009 9:09:43 AM
  • chloe w.

    bessie colemens problem was alike to hank greenburgs problem because they both coudn't do something that they wanted to do.

    4/30/2009 9:21:01 AM
  • chloe w.

    yes, because they are both active and hard to work on.

    4/30/2009 9:22:28 AM
  • Laura Ellen

    #1.Hank Greenberg and Bessie Coleman both had really hard things to do.But they had different jobs.Their problems both faced crowds but they were about different things.

    #2.They arent alike because Babe Drickson's job is athletic and Bill Melendez's isent.

    4/30/2009 9:25:20 AM
  • chloe o.

    1.Bessie Coleman and Hank Greenburg both have problems. But Coleman and Greenburg have very different obstacals. Colman is a Black African American so that became a big problem. When Greeburg had to playa different place in baseball that was something he had to overcome.
    3.Meeting a challenge can change someones life. When Babe Dikrikson got caner she met a challege in her life. But she didn't let that stop her. Dikrikson is brave and she faced her challenge and it did change her life(she died.)
