How would you have liked to be one of the "Little Rock Nine?" How do you think you would have reacted to the fact that you needed armed guards to enter school? How would you have reacted to the shouts and slurs of those on the streets who didn't want to see you in that building?

     In the past, schools used to be segregated. The clause that they had, “Separate, but equal”, is an understatement. During the period of desegregating and integrating, there were problems, threats, protests, and controversies that permeated through the schools, when it came to the issue of education. Also, it got to the point during Little Rock Nine era where they had armed guards just to take them to school so that they can learn.

     To be one of the Little Rock Nine, it would be surprising. The reason why is because of the fact that I would need armed guards just to take me to school so that I can learn. Also, I would have felt livid because of the fact that I, as a person of color, would need guards to take me to school, because of people who did not want a colored person to get an education. Also, I would have ignored the comments and still attend school to continue to my education.

     I would have reacted the same way that the Little Rock Nine did. Even with the guards, I would have continued to be upbeat and cheerful, knowing that I have made history, so that other students of color can get their education. What the Little Rock Nine did was an accomplishing feat that no other person has done. To go to school with the guards, and to make sure that you get an education, will be the important event in the history of education.
