Wright Flyer

First time flyer I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I loved watching older cheerleaders do stunts, gymnastics and I also liked watching them support their team. At my elementary school, no one was allowed to play sports till you were in third grade. So after waiting five years, I finally got to try out for the cheerleading team. I expected I would be nervous and scared when I got to tryouts. That 's the complete opposite of how I felt. I was so excited to show everyone all the jumps I could do and how great my cartwheel was! The coaches taught us three different cheers that we had to try out with. I learned those much easier than some of the other girls did.

“No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris…[because] no known motor can run at the requisite speed for four days without stopping.” -Orville Wright One thing that I found interesting about this quote is the fact that it came in 1909, which was about 6 years after the Wright Brothers’ original flights, which were considered very successful at that time. I think Orville Wright said this because he falsely assumed that airplanes would never go faster than they did at that time. Of…

The Wright brothers were never really known as “heroes” among others. They didn’t go around saving people or go around using magic healing powers to bring people back from the dead.

Together, Orville and Wilbur accomplished many tasks that make life more effortless in modern times. In 1900 when the brothers…
