I love my students because they all come to school with their own special talents. They also come to school with their own special set of circumstances. Many of them struggle with home situations, financial hardships, and social-emotional gaps. We work on a daily basis to be kind, show each other respect, and give their very best each and every day. I love them because of their struggles and their successes. We are a charter school whose mission is to guide students to excellence each and every day. We do this despite the lack of public funding, as we receive only a small fraction of what traditional public schools receive per pupil. We do this, despite using hand-me-down furniture, books, and supplies. We do this because our school is located in a high-poverty area where the students and families send their children to us to exercise their rights as parents to have options in educating their children. My students have many dreams and goals, including going to art school, being a fashion designer, and joining the military. Being from so many different backgrounds, my students all learn in different ways and on different levels. No matter the level they're on, they seem to be most successful with a variety of manipulatives. Due to our lack of funding, these manipulatives aren't available to my students. Not having what they need at school can be difficult for any student, which can cause anxiety and stigma. I can take some worry from students by providing them with what they need to be more successful learners.
