The book you are holding in your hands has unique contents and characteristics: it contains stories narrated by high school students. The former, as part of a Spanish project. The latter, as a show of confidence but at the same time a personal interest to motivate and help others. They are stories of 100 Latino students who narrate obstacles but also the triumphs of those who overcame them. They are 100 experiences that seek to let teachers, parents and society in general know that when a boy or girl does not seem to succeed in school, it is not always due to lack of ability or interest in education, but rather due to factors that imply a great challenge for each student. I hope that reading one of them will help a young man, a young woman, to write your own success story starting with high school graduation.
