//Today I found out I was going to an integrated school. I feel my life will be better, but I am also worried of what the kids will think of me. Their parents are very upset and protesting outside the school. I have mixed feelings about it. I know that if I want to fulfill my dream of becoming a black lawyer, I will need a great education and have to work hard. My life will be nothing without education.// //I just got home from school. It was terrifying. I am usually proud of who I am, but my classmates made me feel ashamed. No one would speak to me and I felt like an outcast. I should have stayed at my old school. I'm never going to be able to become a lawyer learning like this. How could I have thought this would work out? This was the worst day of my life.//

NEW YORK (SI.com) -- In what has already been a banner year for**Derek Jeter**, the New York Yankees shortstop can add another honor://Sports Illustrated//'s Sportsman of the Year award. Jeter was chosen as the magazine's 56th honoree (the Dec. 7 issue will hit newsstands on Wednesday) and becomes the first Yankee to be named SI's Sportsman. Jeter's selection caps another outstanding season for the 35-year-old team captain and future Hall of Famer. In 2009 he batted .334 while leading the Yankees to their fifth World Series title in his 14 full seasons, their first since 2000 and their record 27th in franchise history. On Sept. 11 he passed**Lou Gehrig**'s franchise mark for base hits, which now stands at 2,747. In 2009 Jeter led the American League by reaching base 289 times, finished second in the league in hits (212), third in batting average and on-base percentage (.406), fourth in runs (107) and eighth in stolen bases (30). He was named an All-Star for the 10th time, including the sixth time as a starter, while winning his fourth AL Silver Slugger as the best hitting shortstop in the league and his fourth Gold Glove as the league's top defensive shortstop. In 15 postseason games Jeter lived up to his reputation as a clutch player, batting .344 with a .432 on-base percentage, three home runs and six RBIs. He batted .407 in the World Series to lead the Yankees to a six-game victory over the defending world champion Philadelphia Phillies. During the Series, Jeter was named the American League recipient of the Hank Aaron Award, given to the best hitter in each league, and the winner of the Roberto Clemente Award, given to the player who best displays skill on the field while giving back to the community off it. It was that combination of on- and off-field achievement that helped make Jeter this year's Sportsman. Said Sports Illustrated Group Editor**Terry McDonell**, "Derek Jeter has always presented himself with class; he does numerous good works for the community with his Turn 2 Foundation, which is one of the most efficient, effective foundations of its kind; and he's extremely generous with not just his money but with his time, which in many cases is more valuable. He also had another signature year on the field." Jeter is the first baseball player to win the award solo since**Cal Ripken Jr.**in 1995.**Mark McGwire**and**Sammy Sosa**were co-winners in 1998, as were**Randy Johnson**and**Curt Schilling**in 2001. The Boston Red Sox won as a team in 2004. The Sportsman of the Year award has been given annually since SI began publishing in 1954. The first winner was track star**Roger Bannister**, and subsequent honorees include**Arnold Palmer**(1960),**Muhammad Ali**(1974),**Chris Evert**(1976),**Wayne Gretzky**(1982),**Michael Jordan**(1991),**Tiger Woods**(1996 and 2000, the only two-time recipient),**Lance Armstrong**(2002) and**Tom Brady**(2005). Last year's winner was record-setting Olympic swimmer**Michael Phelps**.
