Self-reliance

In the book "The freedom writers diary" we could read, how Ms. Gruwell class read the self-reliance of Emerson. In my opinion self-reliance is a very important characteristics because it gives you confidence. It is basically to trust in yourself, to know that you are able to do anything you want. With this you can know that there are no chances for success. That you have to be perseverant with thinks you want, never give up. Also it teaches to strengthen your weakness, to be strong even though bad things happens. If you are weak find your weakness and then work for it to be a thing in favor. In these reading I could learn how to get things I want. This give me confidence for overtaking all kind of situations. The book shows how Ms. Gruwell tries to teach self reliance to her students. She wants them to know that the can do anything. If people tell them they are not able for doing something, she says to them that they could do it because they are very strong for doing anything. In my opinion is the most important teaching that Ms. Gruwell  can give her students.
