Working in a low-income, poverty city can be extremely difficult. The students are carrying a plethora of challenges that range from poverty, violence, cultural diversity and a multitude of languages. I can relate to the students and community of Camden as I grew up in poverty and only because of education that I am where I am today. I once read "there is absolutely no research correlation between success and family background, race, national origin, financial status, or even educational accomplishments. There is but once correlation with success, and that is attitude." I am determined to inspire the student to learn and become long life learners. I will only be successful if I can ensure that all students are learning.
