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

My team is young and ambitious. They wrestle as individuals and work hard as a team. We are a team filled with many students who have never wrestled before but want to step into a world that challenges them physically as well as mentally with strategy.

My wrestlers want to make their mark.

This year has been filled with obstacles as we had to endure Hurricane Irma, a hurricane that ravaged the city and kept the kids away from education and their extracurricular activities for over 12 days. A hurricane that pushed many outside of the norms of comfort. Returning to school for many of them was their escape, and being involved in school became their solace.

My Project

There are many reasons why students decide to join a wrestling team and part of it is in order to compete in a sport that is as much individual as it is a team sport. Wrestling teaches students about commitment, discipline and power. Wrestling is also a sport that pushes people beyond what they thought imaginable. I hope that my students take all of the lessons given to them from wrestling. In order to do so though, they need some help.

Hurricane Irma took so much away from my students.

My project plans on being able to restore singlets and training equipment such as a grappling dummy and workout ropes that will allow the students to compete at a higher level. Many items were damaged because of Hurricane Irma, and the rebuilding process has turned out to be costly. Hopefully with these items, for a moment in time, the students will be able to develop tunnel vision and improve their craft.
