Raw Materials by Jane Maher stirred up many different
thoughts and emotions inside me. I found it extremely admirable that Maher was
teaching these women that were locked up for different crimes. It was inspiring
that even though these women had tough, stressful lives, they still had the
passion for education. It shows how sometimes I may take education for granted
because I would complain about having papers to write or tests to study for
while Maher was trying her best to promote this education program in prison for
the women. Also the women were taking advantage of the education services they
had, and were eager to learn. It makes me feel like I need to take advantage of
the educational opportunities I have now and utilize it for something greater
in my future. Their passion and eagerness to learn is very admirable.
Reading the situations that some women been through prior
to being in jail shows how strong they are mentally. It shows how they can
overcome these despicable memories by utilizing education as a way of
distracting themselves and feeling free from their real dilemmas. It shows how
they are able to overcome the worst scenarios and become better; people can
overcome any obstacle as long as they are determined to. This piece of
literature was very inspiring and admirable.
