My students often come from families that struggle to make ends meet, requiring them to contribute financially at a young age. Many work late hours or take on multiple part-time jobs, often in physically or emotionally demanding environments. The income they earn is crucial for covering basic necessities such as rent, utilities, groceries, and sometimes even school supplies.
Despite these hardships, they manage to attend school every day, driven by a strong belief in the power of education as a pathway to a better future.
Their schedules are often grueling; after a long day at school, they head straight to work, leaving little time for rest or leisure. Yet, they consistently show up to class, participate actively, and strive to excel academically.
