The student population I work with live below the poverty line. Some live in a complex referred to as "The Projects." Unfortunately, they lack basic necessities like proper nutrition, stable home life, emotional development, etc. Due to the school's location, it is not provided with extra income from donor programs like PTA, grants, private donations more affluent schools receive. The school is in a neighborhood riddled with gang and drug violence.
I believe all students deserve a school with modern facilities, proper nutrition, and access to updated materials. When they come to school hungry and scared, it is a heavy load for a young mind. I believe it is my responsibility as a teacher to provide a safe, community friendly place for students to achieve.
