All_You_Need_Is_A_Leader

All You Need Is A Leader All You Need is a leader “It is an unfortunate fact of life in the United States that Hispanic students achieve less in school, or drop out more often and earlier (Grossman 5).” said in his book, Educating Hispanic Students. An example of this was the story of Angel, a prime drop out student, in the movie Stand and Deliver. The reoccurring theme of high school dropouts in minority communities is also detailed in the stories “Fannie,” by Cherrie Moraga, and “La Guera,” by Anne Dipardo. These stories of real life people and their genuine tales of succeeding in an underprivileged society help to show that if they didn’t have a leader in their life they would not have succeeded. All that these kids needed was someone to show them the way and they would find their path to success. Angel, a lower class Hispanic student in the movie Stand and Deliver is a troublemaker looking to find his true image. His teacher, Mr. Escalante helped him find himself. Mr. Escalante did this by getting under his skin and telling him that he wouldn’t be good with this harder course, calculus. “Hispanics are not encouraged to take academic courses fannie, life, out, angel, through, found, until, stand, own, needed, mr, morgan, made, find, desire, deliver, cherrie, actually, way, true, students, student, identity, hispanic, help, escalante, direction, being, teacher, strong, story, stories, school, read, movie
