I just finished reading a book about teenagers in California. The book was about a teacher, Erin Gruell, transforming these troubled youths into human beings. When Ms Gruell first started teaching English at Wilson High School, she faced with a big challenge. How could she ever teach a group of "remedial" students? Erin didn't know how she would do it it, but she did it. She helped these "Thugs" turn their lives around to become people of society. She taught them how to write. She arranged meetings with people that they kids had never even heard of. But after hearing these people stories, they all realized they were all alike. When there was no possible hope for these kids, Erin Gruell, took them under her wing and taught them how to fly without wings. Teaching them that if you put your mind to it, nothing is impossible to do.
