Becoming
adjusted to Each one/Teach One has been a milestone for Precious. One
of the reasons she is so successful comes from a feeling of being
understood. No one in her class judges her, no one bullies her, and
no one questions her pregnancies or life mistakes. The class is
writing a life book that will tell of their struggles and journey to
the alternative school. Personally, I can not wait to find out the
classmates stories and relate them to the main character life. The
class includes: Ms. Blue Rain, Precious teacher who is proud of the
fact that she is a lesbian. There is also Rhonda Patrice Johnson,
Precious says, “Rhonda big, taller than me, light skin but it don’t
do nuffin’ for her. She ugly, got big lips, pig nose, she fat fat
and her hair rusty color but short short.” (43) Also in the class
is Rita Romero, who claims she was an addict and dropped out of high
school. Jermaine is a lesbian in the class, Jo Ann is a loud-mouthed
girl who has ambition to own a record label, and Consuelo Montenegro
who believes she does not belong in the Pre-GED class. Together these
teens make up Each One, Teach One and I predict that they will have a
huge impact on Precious and her success at the alternative school.
