Mr. Escalante Vs. Ms. Watson

I would say that in a way Mr. Escalante and Ms. Watson had similar goals in mind even though they might have had different backgrounds, settings, and students. both had the drive to motivate their students and hoping they could help their students reach their potential. They saw a lot more in their students than the students saw in themselves. The classes seemed to have different intentions at first. One class didn't really seem to care while the other one looked as if they wanted to learn. Both teachers had a passion to gain the respect of the students and drive them to succeed even though they had to jump through tons of hoops just to get there. Their fellow faculty members didn't agree with what they were doing and how they were teaching but that never stopped them from pushing ahead and doing whatever it takes to make sure each one of their students in their class succeed with flying colors. Sadly, they both ended up pushing themselves too hard and collapsed under pressure both physically and figuratively.
