Ms Gruwell

Ms Erin Gruwell is a great teacher. Throughout the movie, "Freedom Riders" Ms. Gruwell showed her dedication to her students and her teaching. Ms Gruwell fought for her students in many ways, such as demanding they get the books they needed as opposed to the old, outdated, and damaged books her class had been receiving prior. Erin also spent much of her time off the clock to get the resources to get her students what she believed they needed to learn and be the most successful. Another quality Ms Gruwell had to personify her want to help the students was how hard she tried to get to know her students, such as learning each individuals names and how to pronounce them, such as her student, Ava.
