Freedom Writers
Hilary Swank stars in this classic rendition of "White teacher conquers the emotional barrier between black, white, Hispanic, and oriental." Swank plays a teacher named Erin Gruwell that is teaching for the first time. She ends up in the middle of a high school that contains rival gangs and numerous fights on a day to day basis. Just when she thought that she should give up the kids from room 203 give in and take to her idea of writing in Composition books. Each student starts their journals and a world of communication is opened up.
This movie can be compared to Dangerous Minds, the 1995 movie starring Michelle Pfeiffer, only in this rendition, the teacher isn't an ex Marine, and there is no Coolio song to go along with the movie. All in all, the movie keeps your attention and leads to a happy ending. It is based on a book and true events. Once you see the movie you may want to pick up a copy of the book "The Freedom Writers", you know how the saying goes, the book is always better than the movie.

Nice resume.
What are you intending to do in film after graduation? Do you have any specific plans? We should talk.
I agree with Mama -- your confidence has grown, you've become less self-conscious. Maintaining a blog requires a sense of humor and energy, and it looks like you're headed in the right direction.
