I was given the ultimate blessing to educate 100 scholars. 99% of my scholars are African-American/Latino and 1% is White. My charter school believes relentlessly in the mission that every scholar deserves the opportunity to attend and graduate from a four-year college/university. From day one, scholars are met with the motto "College or DIE!". Starting in 8th grade, they take college courses, such as conceptual Physics and Algebra, and they are currently taking Chemistry in 9th grade. By the time they are Juniors they will start the "Early College" program to take accredited college courses while in high school. Even with our unapologetic mission for each scholar, they face substandard housing, sub par access to food and substantial dysfunction. And there comes a point where my school needs help meeting the resources that my scholars lack. Our parents brought their kids to my school to give them an option to the seemingly inevitable. Daily, we work intentionally to fulfill that.
