I really enjoyed the video! It was definitely enlightening listening to all of these youth, and their parents, talk about the experiences they have been having within schools. I had no idea the extent to which some of these students struggle during the school day. I was even quite frankly shocked by the way some of the teachers treat their students! It's bad enough that adolescents in general have a hard time navigating these transitional years and discovering their self-identity. But it is even more difficult for students who are coming from different cultures that may not be the norm.
I think this video taught me that it is important to celebrate diversity inside and outside of the classroom. Especially for adolescents who are at an extremely integral time in their lives, it is important for youth to celebrate and embrace their culture and to have it accepted by others.
