I very much enjoyed reading the articles that were posted on our blog this week. The most interesting one to me was bout the Hispanics and the drop out rate. Its quite remarkable to see how much some students work their butt's of for the better for themselves and how it will pay of later in life. But then again there are some slackers out there. I didn't know that Hispanics have a huge number when it comes to the drop out rate in NY! I didn't even think there is over 20 percent of drop out rate in the city of the students. Kind of sad to hear, but there are issues that come up with people now days and sometimes not all can be done to prevent it. There isn't the right kind of help and assistance to some individuals out there either when they need it... In the same way it's very inspirational to see the students that are doing good, going to school, pursuing a higher education and a degree, and looking for the better of their future!
I also checked out the last website and looked at the family tree from Heather Greenwood's family. I found it so interesting how much of a crayon box her family is. From Asians, whites, Blacks, and a mixture of all the race individuals in her family are! Both her parents are white of course she was of adopted, but so cool to see the other races that are so closely associated with her come in so many different colors!
