There was a point in time where there was tragedy, violence and horror that happened in South Beach, California from 1993-1996. There was a teacher named Erin Gruwell that had a lot of motivation and perseverance, that taught the kids that had no sorts of knowledge and motivation until Erin made them better as readers, writers and better people outside of Wilson High School. Erin Gruwell was given the "unteachable" students these kind of students are more concerned about gang activity and would rather do that instead of read Shakespeare or any other books that would actually make them learn. They say that Wilson High School was located was so called a safe place to go to school for the rich and the poor and the kids that wanted to go to Wilson School had to take at least two buses at least every day to go to school. This story about a young teacher trying to succeed in everything she can do possible, and one thing that Erin did right was in the end she braugt abunch of her "unteachable" students to becoming teachable and that is one thing to be proud of.
An excellent book! I love reading books about other people's stories and how they overcame the odds. It is always inspiring.
