Most of the children in my school toil under dire circumstances: poverty, a less-than-safe neighborhood, instances of "broken homes," exposure to substance abuse, neglect, gangs and domestic violence - and yet continue to strive to gain ground academically. The students are special and unique in that, though many of them witness ridiculous amounts of tragedy and live in unforgivable arenas of trauma, there's still a inner sense of hope and innocent belief that school - for many, their safe place- is important. For many of the families, education is still touted as a viable ticket out of the abyss of hopelessness. Urban schools are always hardest hit by economic lows, and without the proper resources, it is truly more difficult for students to have the opportunity to overcome all that befalls them, daily.
