My students are labeled as, "disadvantaged" but I see them as ones with most cultural knowledge. They bring with them a rich culture, strong family ties, a sense of community and the desire to succeed despite struggles both physical and emotional. My students have sacrificed immediate personal needs in order to gain a more comfortable future not only for themselves but for their families. My students have the ability to balance and live withing 2 cultures accepting both, respecting both, and maximizing the richness of both. They are eager to learn the language, so they can acquire knowledge coded in the books and iPads that they hold in wonderment. They come speaking little to no English at the beginning of the year and in 184 days they unravel the alphabet code and begin reading books! They are empowered, they can share their knowledge with their friends and family, empowering them and the community. They are immigrants. So am I. Our desire to succeed is ferociously infectious.
