Curiosity comes up in several ways , It can begin with a question . But then a decision comes along the way ! We either choose to stand up and take the opportunity to ask or give out questions and ideas . Something I began to become interested as a kid was learning more about historical people who have impacted our world . There were many individuals who were mentioned by my teacher , Every time there was details about that one person in a little book . I remember when I started school my teacher was reading a small book about our former president Barack Obama . This was the time where he became president ! He was known for the phrase ” Yes we can ! ” . Once I grew older , I started learning more about people in history context . I have to admit I enjoyed all the lessons . In my mind , I wanted to learn about people of different culture like black individuals who made a huge turn into our lives . As you can see , I remained interested in this topic within years. But one day my curiosity began to build more and more , I wanted an answer to my questions . I took the chance to do it and I did it ! I asked a question in one of my classes which was a request to add on more detail about Rosa Parks in a lesson . I did not get an answer , I saw actions but did not choose to speak up . This was the moment were I felt that my curiosity was not enough for the education system . Till this day , I feel that not only my curiosity should be important to the system what about others as well ! I have always felt that the system should provide black role models who changed our world in anything not just in history . It can be in sports, music , art , ANYTHING but they shouldn’t make anyone feel incomplete about their curiosities . It takes a person to stand up for their curiosity , We should never ask ourselves ” What if the curiosity we have is dumb ?”

In the article ” A Talk To Teachers ” by James Baldwin talks about the education system throughout racism realities in the time but from what I’ve seen lately it still remains to happen today not in school but just in the world itself . We are so many people in the world , History has been a factor that has contributed on how the world became as it is right now . What do I mean by history ? The word can mean so much . History in events or Individuals who created a change or a brand new start to everything we love now . When Baldwin says ” The world is larger ” I feel that he is trying to prove that there are more people than the american history , YES they have provided us on our culture ! But so did black figures in every way possible that we can think of . In perspectives , I wish I were taught more about black history . I realized they were not mentioned as much as American History . The people I know who are role figures are Martin Luther King JR , Rosa Parks , Harriet Tubman , and Jackie Robinson . I want to learn more about them like what was their life like or more details about them that we the audience do not know about . In the other hand , I know that there are more people who should be mentioned in history or any class in general . Let’s say for art class , What Can I learn ? Who were the first black painters or If they have joined in collaborations in any other areas besides art . What about Physical Education Classes ? Sports are a big part for everyone who plays on the daily and are fans of any sport like soccer , baseball , softball ,or basketball . Things that can be taught is how the athletes made it to where they are now and more . They main focus is that these role figures should always be talked about in the education world and the real world as well !
