In this short segment I talk about “Stand and Deliver” and what the movie means to me. The story behind the movie is amazing and it is based on Jaime Escalante and his teaching experience in East L.A. at Garfield High. This movie has always meant a lot to me because of the students in the movie and what they have to deal with to become “successful.” I love teachers that find ways to raise the bar and demand more from their students. I believe I can relate to this movie because the main character reminds me of my father and just seeing a Bolivian teacher push his Latinx students to the next level was amazing. I highly recommend the movie to anyone who wants to be inspired and take his teachings to their real life. I used a lot of these lessons in my high school soccer coaching days at Grant High School and currently in my classroom. I strive to create real world experiences in the classroom for all of my students.
