YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

At a high school predominately made up of newly arrived immigrants in Queens, New York, the student population is shrinking, and chronic absenteeism is on the rise amid immigration crackdowns around the country. A storage closet-turned boxing gym offers students an escape, and a reason to stay in school. CNN spent time with 18-year-old Gabriela as she trains, and dreams of a future in the ring. #cnn #cnnnews
