I searched for educational videos. I was particular inspired by a video called:
Pearl Arredondo: My story, from gangland daughter to star teacher
This video inspired me because it was about a girl called Pear Arredondo, who grew up in LA, her father was part of a gang, and was in and out of jail a lot. She explains that she has had a hard life, and grew up in a tough area. Her local school was very rough, and the teachers weren't very supportive. Her mum supported her education, and moved her to a school and hour and half away, just her daughter could receive the best education. Although the teachers in that school considered her a trouble maker, they seemed surprised when she was able to graduate from high school. She then went onto university, and then came back to her old school to start her teaching career, her aim was to help the children who were in the same situation as her.
She encouraged the children she taught that even if they were from a rough background they would succeed, she shared her story with them, and supported them. She created a new school, with teachers who would support each child. She felt like her community needed this new school. She made it clear that if a teacher didn't want to teach, couldn't teach or didn't have the motivation to support the children then they were unable to teach in her school.
She makes it clear that all the children within her school want to come to school to learn, the school makes them feel valued and supported. I felt inspired by this video because you can tell Pearl wants the best for her school and the children that are there. She wants to empower them so they achieve the best they can and move further into high education. She inspired me because you can tell from watching this video she is proud of her job, even though she has had a rough background she was able to achieve an amazing career, and do something better for herself and her community instead of joining the local gang. She is very inspiring.
