My Project

Most of my students are from a low socioeconomic area. Many of them lack confidence and struggle to learn as a result. We are using these materials to build a program which will provide life skills to students by teaching them how to do hair, nails, and care for skin. Students will not only gain confidence from these skills but will expand their social development through interacting with one another in a safe and supportive environment. These skills will also follow students for the rest of their lives and will give them career opportunities.
