I work at a small public charter school in Northern California, with a diverse group of students ranging 9-12th grade (but mostly in the 11th grade). My students are highly energetic and enthusiastic youths, living in a poverty-stricken community, where education is not a priority. The students I work with struggle daily to live the school's motto and "create change", by first finishing high school and changing their personal odds of going to college. Several of the students have dropped out and re-enrolled, while others are working hard at their fifth year to get their desired high school diploma. One of the classes I teach is even a remedial Algebra II class, in which students are re-taking Algebra II for the second or even third time. Though they have tried and failed several times, these students are determined to persevere and turn their college dreams into reality.
