Hero Oral Story™

 My name is Harriet Tubman. I guess you could consider me to be a hero, many people have. I freed slaves and changed many lives by giving them the chance to live. I gave myself, my family, and people that I didn't know a second chance. I proved people wrong and I never gave up. I've learned bravery and courage just from looking out windows. Have you ever seen a squirrel running across the top of a narrow fence? The squirrel doesn't have second thoughts because instinct told it that it IS possible. That's how I felt when I was planning to escape. I knew that I could do it. Everyone was possible of it, but having enough courage to do it changes everything. I saved over 70 slaves. Each of their faces when they reached freedom was the same, that startled expression that they actually made it. Its overwhelming.

train thing. i never ran my train off the track and i never lost a passenger. all of the people that i brought through the underground railroad made their way to freedom. out of everyone that i led, none of them were catched. all escaped slavery. racism is a big problem still facing many people today. just like it used to be, whites hated blacks and were cruel to them. blacks disliked whites because of how they were treated. today, whites still dislike "blacks" and the "blacks" still have problems with the whites. racism is not good. nothing good comes from being judgemental. problems only get worse. so, look past color and really focus in. some people can do amazing things.
