My job is a beautiful privilege. I teach true New Yorkers. They come to school independently, with a hunger to learn. Hungry for knowledge and discoveries that happen every day in our classroom. I teach in an urban NYC school where all students receive free breakfast and lunch. As a community school, we also offer free health screenings, dental exams, and eyeglasses to all students. For some of my students, school can be one of the only constant structures in their lives. As a result, I believe that they deserve an abundance of resources and materials. They face more adversity in their young lives than necessary and I would like to remove as many obstacles in their education as possible.
