Bessie Coleman worked hard to be successful at something she loved, flying. Although instructors in the United States refused to teach her how to operate an airplane, she did not let it stop her. She just went around the obstacles. “She refused to take no for an answer” and became the first black woman to earn her pilot’s license.
