Pain. Heartache. Suffering. Isolation. Confusion. Far too many of my students characterize their lives with these or related words. But they aren't the only sentiments that characterize students' lives, because over the years, I've been witness to countless tales of inspiration and love: Hope. Triumph. Resilience. Community. Clarity. We are a small school community at the fringes of gentrification, a cultural dichotomy that's oftentimes hard to confront, especially when my students still live along its periphery, caught somewhere at the intersection of Wall Street's bounty, Chinatown's vitality, and Lower East Side grit. We are recent immigrants and many of us have special needs. But more importantly, we are peddlers of hope and hard work and have a bond that transcends so many of our daily challenges. Our school is a place where mistakes are made and learned from. We believe that educating the whole child requires exploration and acceptance of our deepest selves.
