My Students
When a arrived at our school over five years ago, I was amazed by my students. Initially, they were surprised to have an Asian-American teacher. My students were curious. I recognized that some of my students were less fortunate. They would ask for pens, masks, and paper daily. Most of them are from families who receive government assistance.
Over 95% of my student live in an impoverished area of Louisiana.
They lack basic necessities for classes. They often ask me for snacks, because they are hungry. Their homes may be without everything that our students need.
My Project
After over 15 years in educations, I have observed that if children are hungry, they cannot focus on the lesson that is being taught at the time. Some of my students have to eat at school, because food is scarce at home. Additionally, any students do not have basic necessities for class. Hence, I have always shared whatever food and supplies, I have in my class with students.
If children has a healthy snack, they may be able to focus better in class and the students’ attention won't be focused on being hungry.
I continue to assist students with their basic needs.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
