My students are from a neglected inner city neighborhood in Pennsylvania. They rarely have teachers who choose to stay at their school because of the many hardships faced in the community. This will be my fourth year at the school, and I love it. While everyday I hear the horror stories that my young students have to encounter, I also get to see them grow into mature young adults who make decisions to better themselves and their community. I work hard to prove to them that people do care about them in the world, and success is an option! Please donate to help my students recognize that people want them to succeed!!
