Freedom Writers Reflection

I thought the movie was inspiring.  The teacher, Erin Gruwell,  starts teaching English at a High School in Long Beach, California.  The students and faculty resent her efforts to change their lives.  She sees their potential and doesn't give up.  She tries new approaches to help them change the way they think of those who are not part of their gangs.  She introduces writing from Anne Frank and takes them to a museum.  She teaches them about tolerance.  She risks her marriage and gets other jobs to provide books for her students.  She breaks through the barriers put in front of her so that she can help them achieve their potential and succeed. She was an amazing teacher.
