The Freedom writers
The Freedom Writers was a very inspirational story of one women (Erin Gruwell) who believed in a group of kids when no one else did. She gave them a chance, believed in them, and helped them to open up. She had to undergo obstacles and find a new way of teaching just to get through to these kids. She didn't give up on these kids, she actually wanted to help them succeed. This story taught me a lot. I never want to give up on a child. I want to do everything that I can to help them succeed in their lives. I want to help them have happier lives and I want to help them believe in themselves like Erin did. I also strive to be creative and find different ways to teach a student if he or she happens to be struggling. Erin Gruwell is a very inspiring teacher and I am glad that she had the opportunity to tell her story. She has inspired me to strive to be the best teacher I can be.

I too think that Erin is a great role model for teachers. There is so much to learn from watching the movie, and then from there you can dig deeper. Join the foundation and teach by a different philosophy. I think if we can create more awareness about diversity in our school systems we can greatly change how our students learn.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments on Freedom Writers. I like the way that you described what you got out of the movie. I was also inspired by Erin Gruwell, she is everything good about teaching!
ReplyDeleteI like what you said about after watching this movie it made you want to be a better teacher. I am glad that Erin's story and the kids from room 203 got their story out I think as aspiring teachers we can all pick up something from Erin. We all hope that we can impact our kids as much as she did.
