Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Inspiring many across the entire nation, the Lady Tigers are more than a softball team but a family of sisters who encourage and support each other while enduring the struggles of inner city life. Their story "To Be a Tiger" on YouTube details the courageous story of a team overcoming cancer and poverty. Battling an environment plagued with poverty, drugs and gang violence, our school strives to provide these young girls with hope. Softball has become a way of life, a means to escape the harsh reality of their circumstances and simply enjoy being a teen. They have become like my daughters who I have adopted into my heart. I have added college tours in order to expose my girls to the world beyond their concrete jungle. Each trip conveyed to my girls that softball can unlock endless educational opportunities. Sadly, most of my girls have become fixated on the notion of perpetual failure. I refuse for this belief to become their reality and I will continue to fight for their education and be that positive male figure in their lives that will never quit on them.

My Project

Last school year, the captain of the Lady Tigers, Yashira, created a Donorschoose.org project that was fully funded! She organized a spectacular banquet where her teammates could celebrate their accomplishments with their community, family, friends and honored guests as well as display their softball skills. They were able to convey to all those that attended that they were and still are the embodiment of the student-athlete ideal. By showcasing their skills, Yashira and the Lady Tigers were able to raise enough funds in order to compete in a Chicago softball tournament. This year, we are attempting to do this again!
