October Sky

In school, we saw the movie "October Sky" as a character education movie. The movie was about 4 young boys who want to build a mini rocket. After many attempts and failures, they finally succeed. Soon, the whole town gets to know about it and they gather around as the boys launch rocket after rocket. Later, the police arrest the boys saying that they started a forest fire nearby. After their parents get the kids out of jail, they prove that they didn't start that forest fire, using mathematical equations to determine where it landed. The four boys showed perseverence because even though they had to go through all that trouble and failed so many times, they finally finished their rockets and got scholarships after winning in a major national science fair. They also showed cooperation because they were very different and they still worked together to build those rockets.
