"One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. - Malala Yousafzai
My amazing bunch of 28 students come from different cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds that we celebrate every day.
Each student has a unique and valuable set of experiences that they contribute to the class. We have worked hard to build bonds with each other and consider our class to be like a family, while our classroom is like a home. Students truly feel safe to be themselves, take risks, and explore.
My Project
Education is something we take for granted nowadays in the United States because according to law, all students are entitled to a free and appropriate public education. This isn't the case all over the world.
130 million girls didn’t go to school today— not because they didn’t want to, but because they weren’t given the chance.
Some of my students wouldn’t get educated at all in other countries. Others wouldn’t be able to go to school some days if they hit puberty and didn't have access to self care items or because of social norms.
This project's goal is to empower girls to further their educations and make a difference in the world by giving them material to read about fabulous women in history as well as changes that will happen to their bodies and minds as they grow up. It will educate all students on the accomplishments of females of all races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, and cultures throughout the history of the world. My hope is that the girls will grow up with the confidence that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. I envision a bright future for them without a gender wage gap and feeling like every job is accessible to all.
“The ability to read, write, and analyze; the confidence to stand up and demand justice and equality; the qualifications and connections to get your foot in that door and take your seat at that table—all of that starts with education.”
–Michelle Obama, Let Girls Learn speech, International Women’s Day 2016
By supporting our class and helping us get these items, you will have a lasting impact on my students and society for years to come.
