My incredible students come from a high poverty region in Arizona. Sadly, many have already experienced more adversity in their short 13 years than most people experience in a lifetime. Each day is a struggle. Simple things like eating and transportation are stressful because the resources are simply nonexistent. Even their school, a place that should be a haven and positive environment, clearly lacks the capabilities to fully provide a rich and diverse education. To illustrate. the school is classified as a Title 1 school where over 90 percent of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. Even with all the challenges that my students face, they come to class each day eager to learn and improve their lives through knowledge. They love questioning and creating experiments despite our limited supplies. Their perseverance and resilience constantly push me to be both a better teacher and person.
