My students PERSEVERE! Our school is located in one of the poorest congressional districts in the country and my students face many obstacles in their daily lives. What is absolutely remarkable about them is that they show up every day wanting to be loved and wanting to learn despite their circumstances.
We celebrate small steps of success along the way and these moments just mean so much more because we all know the hard work and perseverance it took to get there. Although the outside world may be confusing and unstable, we find stability and community amongst each other.
The bond that forms as a result of students recognizing that teachers care about them, care about getting to know them and helping them beyond academics is deeper than any math lesson I could ever teach.
