My students, all of whom are minorities, live in an urban area where violence and poverty rates are high, liquor stores are abundant, and access to green space and high quality, nutritious food is minimal. I teach English Language Development to students from a variety of countries, including Yemen, Vietnam, China, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras and Eritrea. Some entered the country this year. Others have been here nearly their entire lives. All are striving to reach English fluency as determined by the California Department of Education and to reach their goals to be college, career and community ready.
