My students are 7th and 8th Grade life and earth science students, who have to deal with many challenges growing up in our area. For many, school is hard enough on its own without the threat of poverty and violence that may await you back at home. Unfortunately, many of our kids face these additional hurdles to their education. Our Michigan Public Middle/High School is in the shadow of a once great automotive industrial town, and we have all of the economic hurdles that come with that. We are a small school, but our students have big hearts and minds that thirst to be expanded. Many of my students often stay afterschool for as long as they possibly can asking about extra credit or to get more personal instruction. The desire from many of our students to learn is there, and we try to expand and nurture that desire.
