Ive seen that many students when they live in places where violence is everywhere and the most paid attention peers are the ones who cause problems. In "A hope in the Unseen", Cedric Jennings is a very smart student in Washington D.C, but its difficult to be smart and get credit for it when your school is filled with kids who only know how to deal with things with violence. Although all these temptations surround him, he stays strong and dedicates himself to education. Ive experienced the feeling when I have classmates who do not care for school or learning. It's difficult to learn and get credit for hard work when your classmates are interrupting every minute and bothering you for money or gum. I want to be a teacher and I'm very interested in education, but I see that it's not just going to be difficult for me, but for the student as well when the classroom is full of disruptive pupils. This book has definitely opened my eyes to some of the things kids go through and how tough it is to stay concentrated on work, when there are so many distractions. This will definitely be something I will probably go through with students, but this book has made me see that if you really want to be successful, you have to keep your head up high no matter what.
