    Also being able to work alongside the talented and compassionate math teachers was another reward that made her sixteen years at East memorable. Mr. Zachow thought very highly of Mrs. Batten, “As a classroom teacher she went above and beyond what we would expect teachers to do, she had time for kids outside the classroom to help them in math and was always a good role model.” As a coach at East for many years she took the softball team to the state tournament seven years in a row. Tim Zachow believes, “Most coaches are good average coaches and they know the game, but she pays close attention to those little details.…

    From watching the film, I understand that women who are incarcerated do not receive the proper prenatal care in order to give birth to children.

Doing so has the potential to increase the risk of a child and/or mother to experience problems during birth. After hearing Tina Torrez’s experience when giving birth to her daughter as an inmate, it was clear the care inmate mothers receive is unacceptable when compared to the care mothers who are not labeled as inmates receive. Hearing her experience bothered me because of the fact that even though she was pregnant and giving birth, she was still treated as if she were not a human with physical and emotional feelings.…

In the perspective of others, this sin created a basis for judgment and questioning everything she has ever done and how her past actions foreshadowed to the future.…

As important as her stellar grade point average and class rank, she has accomplished this while being extremely involved in school activities that demand a considerable amount of time. This desire to achieve academically was evident even when I had Morgan in my English I class, a freshmen English class.…
