My Students

I teach at the most diverse high school in Chicago and have some of the most amazing students. My students come from all over the world and teach me so much each day. They preserve through all obstacles thrown at them. The majority of my students come from immigrant families and even some refugees, yet they continue to rise and take all opportunities given to them.

My Project

First and foremost, we need new uniforms. It has been years since we've had a new set and we are not looking too fierce on the soccer field. Our girls have had a rocky soccer career in high school due to COVID. They deserve to come in strong this season looking fresh in new uniforms and practicing with some new equipment. They are hard-working young women who show great leadership and perseverance.

Soccer balls, pinnies, cones, and other training equipment are also in dire need.

It has been a scramble gathering together equipment for the team to use that is not broken, torn, or falling apart. The girls have already started running and getting into soccer shape before the start of our season on February 28th. Our ladies greatly appreciate all of the support to give them an amazing start to the upcoming season!
