I have been lucky enough this year to have an amazing batch of students. While I have only known them for a few days, I can already tell that they are some of the most awe-inspiring and courageous people you'll ever meet. As teens coming of age in the inner city, the vast majority come to school on any given day with a multitude of problems resting on their shoulders. Still, they have shown me how much they truly care about improving their skills so they can work at grade level. To accomplish their goals, though, they need a few things: encouragement, support and motivation... and most of all, basic materials.
