When I opened Mott Hall Bridges Academy in 2010,

當我在 2010 年 創辦莫特山學院的時候，

開辦一所學校來關閉一所監獄。

because our school is located in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn --

這可能對於一些人來說， 是個很冒險的目標，

one of the most underserved and violent neighborhoods

因為我們的學校坐落在 布魯克林的布朗斯維爾，

這是整個紐約城服務與設施 最匱乏和暴力的社區之一。

Like many urban schools with high poverty rates,

和很多擁有高貧困率的 城區學校一樣，

比如尋找能同情弱勢社區 複雜情況的老師，

with the complexities of a disadvantaged community,

和會早在孩子四年級 就開始吸收的社區幫派。

and neighborhood gangs that recruit children as early as fourth grade.

一個地區公立初中的創始校長，

the founding principal of a middle school that was a district public school,

Thirty percent of them had special needs.

Eighty-six percent of them were below grade level

如果這些學生不在我們的教室裡，

And 100 percent were living below the poverty level.

If our children are not in our classrooms,

在我問我 13 歲的學生時， 這暴露無遺，

It was evident when I would ask my 13-year-old,

where do you see yourself in five years?"

「我不知道我會不會活那麼久？」

或者是有一個年輕女士對我說，

"I don't know if I'm gonna live that long."

她人生的目標就是在速食店工作。

that she had a lifelong goal of working in a fast-food restaurant.

這暴露無遺，他們不知道 在社區外有無數的機會，

我們稱呼學生「學者」， 因為他們終生都會在學習。

It was also evident that they had no idea

that there was a landscape of opportunity

會為他們的大學和職業生涯做準備，

We call our students "scholars," because they're lifelong learners.

因為我希望提醒他們， 他們是偉人的後代，

will prepare them for college and career readiness.

I chose the royal colors of purple and black,

because I want them to be reminded that they are descendants of greatness,

甚至能夠掌控且 將會掌控全球的領導者。

and even leaders who can and will take over this world.

他們將要進入紐約一些 競爭最激烈的高中，

我的「學者」 維多．莎絲坦內特 見到了布蘭登．斯坦登，

who are now going to some of the most competitive high schools

他是紐約流行博客「紐約人」 (Humans of New York) 的創始人，

布蘭登分享了一個故事， 關於一個來自布朗斯維爾德年輕人，

when my scholar, Vidal Chastanet, met Brandon Stanton,

然而他還是可以被那個創辦了 相信所有學生的校長所影響。

the founder of the popular blog "Humans of New York."

維多代表著諸多貧困學生 掙扎著活下去的故事，

Brandon shared the story of a young man from Brownsville

這就是為什麼我們要以教育為先。

by witnessing a man being thrown off of a roof.

Yet he can still be influenced by a principal

who had opened up a school that believes in all children.

給我們的學生實地參觀大學和學院，

Vidal embodies the story of so many of our underprivileged children

參與暑期 STEAM 計畫， （科學技術工程藝術數學）

which is why we must make education a priority.

Brandon's post created a global sensation

當 200 個來自布朗斯維爾的 年輕人拜訪哈佛大學，

This resulted in 1.4 million dollars being raised

選擇上大學能給他們無限可能，

for our scholars to attend field trips to colleges and universities,

他們因為生活在弱勢社區 而強加在他們身上的無望感，

教育革命正在我們的學校進行，

that when 200 young people from Brownsville visited Harvard,

that a college of their choice was a real possibility.

And the impossibilities that had been imposed upon them

而且在這並不完美的教育系統中，

The revolution in education is happening in our schools,

但我有一個積極的教育工作者團體，

我們團隊合作， 制定出最適合的課程表。

These are the things that inspire children.

甚至經常花自己的錢 來提供我們缺少的資源。

within an education system that is not perfect.

who collaborate as a team to determine what is the best curriculum.

因為我希望我的老師們 和莫特山學院一樣成功。

而且我讓他們每天都能夠聯繫到我，

這就是為什麼他們都有 我的私人電話號碼，

and even use their own money to often provide resources

這可能也是為什麼我會在早上三點

and I conduct observations to give feedback,

because I want my teachers to be just as successful

我們的未來正坐在我們的教室裡，
