Harriet Tubman blog 2

      Harriet Tubman is almost like my everyday life because it shows me that Harriet had struggles with her life she had to go through, so it’s sounds just like my life because there are somethings that I have to go through at home and school because I have to do things like chores and other things. I think me and Harriet are the same not because of our skin color but what’s under the color that makes us the same.  Also, I think that’s blood going down the generation of other black women before me and her combined.
In my own eyes Harriet Tubman is like a sister to me even if we’re not in the same timeline. I feel like she is with me teaching me everyday on how to get through the tough times in my life and how to deal with them no matter how hard the challenge gets in my life. Harriet Tubman teaches me to just look over it and not to worry about what is in the future but to worry about the present.
So, in conclusion Harriet Tubman is a big part of my family just like my mom because they both teach that I should keep moving on and not to give up on what is right in my own eyes.  Also, I should always keep fighting until I win the battle. In the end, even if I didn’t win for real at least I can tell myself that I won deep in my heart and no one else can tell otherwise because it’s my life no one else.

  1. wow Jayla its amazing how you wrote your blog comparing it to your life. Trying to understand Harriet how she had to suffer more because she was a slaves who didn't have the right to speak or express to, because of her skin color being darker. Yes, people still battle racism. Being a teenager is tough because of school, sports and home at a age teens already have responsible to do, homework practices chores or even get a part time job.To help your family to pay bills in the end of the month. To succeed we have to more forward. I enjoy your blog :):):):):)
