My students are small-town to the core. We have families who have lived her for five or six generations. That's a lot of tradition and it's a beautiful thing, but there's more to the world than they see in a lifetime. They have big dreams of going to college and getting a job, but most of those dreams involve coming back to the small town they grew up in. I want to show them how big the world is and how big their dreams can be. I don't want them to miss out an opportunity just because they don't understand. I also want them to see things from multiple perspectives. That means that a great deal of literature has to be about human experience from a different point of view. They're all great kids--hard-workers, from my valedictorians pushing for the best grades to my future pro-athletes to the kids who work on the family farm and raise cattle. I don't have a student who isn't willing to put in extra work or lend a helping hand or sacrifice for each other. In short, they're family.
