My students are brilliant little people. They are super inquisitive and energetic. Most of them are growing up below the poverty line (98%) and the area in which I teach is dangerous at times. However, they are in an area rich with culture and community. Things get done in our little area, regardless of the lack of resources; I have parents who sacrifice so much to provide for our babies. Nonetheless, the opportunity gap in my school is a strong reality. Our students are bright but they lack simple, basic resources and opportunities that are afforded to more affluent children. I would not trade my babies for the world! I would, however, like to provide them with a strong, well structured learning environment that gives them the foundations they need for lifelong learning.
