There has always been issues with the education system and always will be. People have a lot of opinions about it and regardless of what people go through, there’s never really any change. There were a lot of similarities in my group because we had different stories but really the idea at the end was that we all had a certain someone at our school who motivated us to do better , regardless if we were motivated through a negative or a positive experience. For instance, Luis explained that he had a teacher who really cared about him & his education. Having that kind of support motivated him to do better. That’s an example of a positive experience. Amaya wrote about a bad experience with her teacher, a teacher who always took anything she said as a bad thing and negative thing. It motivated her to want to learn how to ignore the bad things her teacher would say & other people. Assie wrote about financial issues & how her counselor would bring her down & discourge her simply because of her financial situation. This taught her not to care about any bad things anyone told her. It taught her that even when people try to bring you down, if you really believe you can do something , then it’s not impossible. One problem with the education system is that there’s a lot of people in the education system that honestly don’t do their best to try to motivate kids & help them out. This is what ties our stories together.
