My students are fascinating to me. They are handling puberty and individual challenges with inquisitiveness, mood swings and humor. They think, they challenge, and they seek to make sense of who they are and where they are going. They are usually very kind to each other and they are very protective. They like me. They study me and I study them. Generally, they take whatever I can give them with gratitude, love and kind smiles. They make my grueling job worth it. Yet, they are confronted with daily challenges of living in a poverty-stricken part of our city. The crime rate is alarming in our area. It is typical to see an ambulance or police vehicle racing down our adjacent main street when we peer out our classroom window. Our school is a precious safe haven for them. However, they show an admirable sense of determination, grit and creative intelligence to navigate both their neighborhood and education on a daily basis.
