题目

I was a high school English teacher on Rikers Island for three years. New York treats 16-year-olds in the criminal justice system like they're adults, regardless of the offense (罪行). They're offered education until the age of 21. so I worked with probably 1,300 young people. I saw how destructive the system is to young people, and I was interested in developing an employment strategy for those coming home.Many of my happiest moments have centered around food. It's a way to connect. There was a culinary (烹饪的) arts class on Rikers where a lot of my students were excelling, so I decided a mobile food source where we could be out in the community would be a great way to raise awareness about injustice inside the system.I hadn't worked in the food industry or in "re-entry"— when a prisoner returns to society. So in 2012, I left my teaching job and pursued both. I worked on the Kimchi Taco Truck in New York City for seven-months, then in re-entry programs. In 2013, I got some great people around me, and we raised money. In the spring of 2014, we launched Snowday.Drive Change, the nonprofit I started that owns Snowday, runs a 12-month fellowship for young people coming home from prison. They work in our kitchen and on our truck, and the revenue (收入) from the truck cycles back into the organization to support our costs. About 20 people per year work on our truck. We pay our workers $11 an hour and teach them transferable skills through classes like marketing, money management, and culinary arts. We help build their skill sets, but for somebody to excel in future environments they need that foundation within themselves.Next, we'll be able to work with more people hired by more food trucks. The goal for us is to help young people coming home get into a position where, rather than all the stop signs and dead ends they generally face, they see futures with new opportunities. （1） What can be learned about the author?
