My Students

My students attend in inner city high school with primarily low socioeconomic background. They are kids that work very hard for me because they want to be successful and do something great! Many of the kids in my school do not make it to college or out of our home town for many different reasons but my class contains kids that are determined to do what it takes to make a difference.

My students are amazing kids that deserve a great experience!

The kids I would like to get funded will typically be the first of their family to go to college. Their parents want the best for them and many times can not afford it. I want to give them an experience they do not usually get.

My Project

Many of my students have never left their hometown of Augusta, Georgia. I would like to take them on a trip to Jekyll Island, GA to learn about the coast and experience what it is like to be at the beach.

They will attend hands-on classes that are all centered on coastal ecology.

These classes are all led by University of Georgia graduate students or employees and all take place outside where students can get their feet wet and their hands dirty learning about places & events they typically only see on television.

Students will see first-hand the effect we have on the environment as well by visiting the sea turtle rescue center.
