Curious, supportive, entertaining and most of all, full of potential; these are just some of the words that I would use to describe my amazing second graders. However, that potential cannot be fully realized due to the fact that the neighborhood they live in is so impoverished and the school is poorly funded. Though the Title One school I work in attempts to meet their needs, ultimately we fall short because we don't have nearly enough of what they need. My students have the desire to learn and are ambitious. Lack of funding shouldn't hold them back. I see beyond their smiles and I want to give them the opportunity to succeed In their education despite the lack of resources. I want to provide them with additional materials to give them an academic edge that their environment doesn't provide. My students are eager to do well, this desire needs to be groomed in order maximize their learning. Their potential should not be stifled.
