Determined to chase their dreams
These students are so talented and keep striving to perfect their craft and pursue their careers. So what’s it like to teach them?
“Their energy is really, really wonderful and they always come in wanting to increase, increase, increase. So it’s much easier than creating, because they’re doing the creating,” drama teacher Carl Gonzalez told Wragge.
A “blessing” and “dream come true”
From music, to film and visual arts, the students tell Chris Wragge they love coming to school each day and chasing their dreams.
