I teach in a large school with 900 students who all qualify to receive free breakfast and lunch. I teach 24 1st graders who are English Language Learners. My students come from families with limited resources but a vast desire for their children to succeed. Parents often work two and three jobs to make ends meet. Despite the hardships my students face, they come to school eager to learn and with a smile on their faces.
