My school is a Title I school. We are split economically between haves and have nots, so having access to technology at school is imperative for those students who do not have access at home. I usually have ten to fifteen English language learners. They are great kids who need every advantage that we can provide for them. For many of my kids the idea of going to college is not even the tiniest of possibilities in their minds. They need to be made aware that they do have the choice and opportunity to go to college. That they can be the first in their family to go to college and change their lives completely. The seeds of possibilities must be planted and nurtured so these kids, the future of our world kids, can start to believe. Believe in themselves and believe in the possibility of a better future.
