All of my students are bright. Some have left behind gang violence and poverty and traveled alone to come to the United States. Many of my students were raised in the streets of Oakland and understand the plight of our newcomers for they have faced harrowing journeys navigating through the dangerous turf wars in our town. Most of my students have hardworking parents who are committed to their children's education and well being but they are also struggling to maintain shelter, provide food and clothing. As an educator and parent in Oakland, I understand firsthand that the cost of living has forced many parents to make harsh decisions to narrow the list of what most Americans would consider basic necessities. I want to provide a safe zone within my classroom that will allow my students to grab hygiene kits when they or their siblings need them. Many of our students who are without basic hygiene necessities struggle within the classroom environment due to simple social norm expectations. I currently run a classroom pantry that allows students to grab bread, peanut butter, and canned food items. I have had many students request soap and toiletries while they were stocking up on food. The hygiene kits will be available to all students, those who are forthcoming with their needs and those who are uncomfortable with expressing their needs. For we are a community and we build with one another to ensure that all students have equal access to basic human rights.
