I thought "Freedom Writers" was a very motivating and inspirational film. Erin Gruwell's character portrayed a first year educator who took on a very challenging task of teaching underprivileged students and succeeded immensely. It was very emotional to watch her struggle trying to balance the relationships in her personal life as well as the relationships she was forming with her students. Mrs. Gruwell made her classroom into a second home where student’s felt safe, comfortable, and able to take risks in their learning. The most important message I took away from “Freedom Writers” is that teaching is way more than a job; it is a chance to influence and change the lives of student’s and give them a chance to succeed.
