A movie that had a big influence on me was Freedom Writers. This movie is about student that people think are unteachable. Hilary Swank plays a teacher role. Hilary teaches at Woodrow Wilson High  a school that kids that come from families, with really low income and that are in gangs go.
This movie shows how teacher and people around you can make a change in our lifes. she help kids come together as one when they was taught to hate each other. These kids that was known as unteachable graduated and some even went to college. this movie teaches you that it is not where you came from but where you are going.
