"'My principal, Ms. Lopez [has influence me most in my life because] when we get in trouble, she doesn't suspend us. She calls us to her office and explains to us how society was built around us. And she tells us that each time somebody fails out of school, a new jail cell gets built. And one time she made every student stand up, one at a time, and she told each one of us that we matter." - Humans of New York
