Freedom Writers...check it out!

For those of you that have yet to see Freedom Writers, it is def. a great way to spend an evening. Hilary Swank plays an inspiring teacher that enters an inner-city school her first year as a teacher and is effected by her students in ways that I can only hope that I will be able to some day.

Her character was awe-inspiring. She begins her career as a teacher not willing to shift in her beliefs, and she carries that through throughout the movie. This is something that I wished more teachers held close to their hearts. Even after things did not happen the way that she always expected, she was utterly and completely devoted to her students, even at the risk of her other relationships.

This movie represents a goal that I truly believe all teachers should hope to achieve...one of selflessness and total devotion to her students at all cost...
