Gruwell's dedication came at a high personal cost; she took multiple part-time jobs to fund books and field trips for her students, which eventually led to the end of her marriage. However, the results were historic:
An exercise where students pledged to leave their past behind and start fresh.
A visual activity that demonstrated how much common ground the students actually shared, despite their different backgrounds.
The movement evolved into a non-profit organization that continues to provide educators with tools to reach marginalized youth.
Against all odds, all 150 of her students graduated from high school, with many becoming the first in their families to attend college.
Gruwell provided each student with a journal to write about their daily lives, fears, and hopes anonymously. This allowed them to process their trauma through the "power of words". Personal Sacrifice and Global Impact
