Annotation
Jackie Robinson takes on many obstacles including poverty and racism in his journey to become a professional baseball player. "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." This quote by Jackie Robinson provides a summary of his life. He had to face and overcome so many obstacles in order to stand on the field and play baseball with men who had little knoweldge of what he had been through, just what color his skin was. My favorite part of the book is at the beginning when his early life is being described. He is forced to stay in the sandbox so that his mother can work and his sister can attend school. The teacher is not so crazy about the idea at first, but gives in when Ms. Robinson explains her situation to him. It reminds me that there are often more to situations that we see at first glance.
