I would rate The Freedom Writers Diary a 10/10. This is a book that just makes you feel good and makes you feel like you can do something to change the world. This book is one of the many reasons why I wanted to become a teacher, but it is the main reason that I want to teach in a Title I school. I love helping others in need and will continue to do so my whole life! I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 13. It is a fantastic read but has lots of mature content.

The Freedom Writers Diary is a true story of a first year teacher in 1994. She teaches a diverse student body while racial tensions are high. She is assigned a group of students who have been labeled “at risk,” “unteachable,” and whom no one else wants. She becomes aware that her primary objective will be to instill self-confidence in these students who have been abandoned by most of the adults around them, including, their very own parents. After reading books about people who kept diaries such as Anne Frank, Ms. Gruwell has the students write in their own diaries to allow them to cope with difficult situations in their own lives. The diary entries are in the book and help tell the story of how Ms. G transformed her classroom.
