This segment of the podcast is an interview with Josefina Bermudez who is an eleventh grade special ed student. The part of this interview that really hit home with me was when he asked her what her favorite part of going to school was. Josefina said that her favorite part was getting to learn new things. I love that that aspect was her favorite part because so many children take the education that they are privileged to receive, but Josefina was excited to go to school and learn.

I think this podcast is really touching. It is nice to know that children actually like to learn!
ReplyDeleteI love the Ghandi quote--it really captures the essence of a passion for life and learning. Good podcast choice as well.
