My students are mainly young 10th-11th graders whose main goal is to graduate. Most of them will be the first people in their family to obtain a high school diploma, let alone apply to college. My school serves a high percentage of disadvantaged students and a plethora of cultures. Our high school also serves a population of over 3000 students and strives to give students every possible opportunity to do more beyond high school. Because many students are not exposed to life or experiences outside of our city or neighborhood, their experiences in the classroom is what molds what they want to do with their lives after high school.
