Kudos for Sarah and her young writers...

This book is great! As the young writers wrote each of their individual stories, I began to see faces that appear each semester in my classes at Monterey Peninsula College (MPC) in California. The rosters that I am given at the beginning of each semester echo many of the surnames that I saw in the book. As a Anglo, born and raised in southern California, I thought I knew a lot about the Latino heritage, but I was mistaken. As I read through each story, I began to see and understand much more clearly how difficult it is for my minority students to leave their families; enroll in college classes; maintain their grades; work part or full time; and hope to graduate/transfer to a four year college. I am much better informed and able to empathize with each of them now that I have read and digested "Windows Into My World". I am grateful that Sarah undertook and completed such an ambitious and important project. She should be congratulated for the accomplishment. A.J. Farrar, M.S.
