I have an incredible group of 26 students who have so much potential in them. Each and every one of my students have gained a place in my heart, they're such kindhearted, noble, and passionate individuals.Every day these students walk into the classroom eager to learn and ready to face any challenge that's put in front of them. These kids spend long hours at school every day and yet, every single day they're excited to be here and ready to take on whatever is put in front of them. It truly amazes me how determined and dedicated these young minds of theirs are.
