My students, an easy word to describe them would be, rascals. They are energetic and constantly moving; young and thirsty to learn more. Furthermore, they are also inquisitive, and goal-oriented. They come from areas that aren't as safe to walk at night, yet they push that aside as soon as they are in the safety of Mr. Mena's class. They worry about their next meal while also trying to learn about the methods of heat transfer. Our school is a wealth of possibility, with kids who aspire to be great but have known to achieve at a below average rate. My kids, are beginning to set goals that will make them push towards places they have never reached before. Our school is supporting our kids to the fullest extent and teaching them what the meaning of accountability is. Our school may not be the most perfect place, but it is what we love to call our home.
