For young Latinas, hope – A new Lawrence school opens their eyes to opportunities – Massachusetts
Tagged: family, latina, Massachusetts, teacherPosted on: January 2nd, 2007“he new, all-girls private school appeared to be a place where Segura could get the attention she needed. The schools founders promised smaller classes, multiple after-school activities, and a dedicated staff. Segura — and her family — would just have to promise to remain committed to the schools rigorous schedule.
Over the first four months of the school year, Laurie Bottiger , Esperanzas head of school, said teachers can already see the difference in Segura. She studies more. She asks questions in class. She gives school tours to visitors. She is starting even to like math, a little.
“They say I do the best, like, on the tests. I get the highest” grades, said Segura. “Thats what they say.”"
