Many of my students come from low-income, working-class families. We live in a city riddled with gang-violence. My students are at high-risk in many areas and do not have much access to the English language when they are at home. In addition some of the parents of my students work in agriculture. With all that said, my students are not only resilient, they are unique individuals who deserve a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help my kids meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with them.
