Personal Factors--Message from Jaime Escalante




Jamie Escalante, the incredible math teacher who inspired the movie Stand and Deliver: "Children of the barrio have enormous obstacles to overcome to get an education...Minority students may be affected by these barriers, but they are not victims of them.  Students can learn to overcome any barrier they will every face."

Jaime Escalante's wisdom is a great introduction to the personal factors that we'll address for the next couple of weeks.
