My students live in a very rough neighborhood. About 35% of my students live in shelters and the other 63% of my students live with ten other people in a one bedroom apartment. Of course I can count in one hand those students that live in what may be the "ideal" home. California has many children eager to learn, but circumstances forbid them from doing so. At our school, we are doing everything in our power to end these cycles. Our students must know that being Latinos or African Americans is just an ethnicity. It means nothing. We teach our students to strive, to always reach for the stars. To see what is around them and decide what will their future look like when the time comes. Will their future have the same surroundings or how and why will it be different? Will they be able to come back into a community in which they grew up in and help change it? Teachers here at this school want to help!
