My Project

I’m so excited for my childhood dream to finally become a reality. I’ve dreamt of this forever, and it’s finally time. I’ll be working in a school that caters to students in a lower class, so I’m excited to truly make a difference in their lives. I cannot wait to see what this year brings, but know how expensive it is to get a class set up. I’m super excited about the spot of feeling books as social emotional learning is something I’m very passionate about. I’m also excited for the many different book sets in my cart as I truly hope to create a love for reading in my students. The basic supplies such as headphones, pencils, dry erase markers, etc will be helpful in making the school experience for the students in my class who may not be able to afford supplies. If I am able to get some of the supplies in my cart through this, I’d be greatly appreciative. Thank you in advance!
