I teach high school AVID to students who like to pretend they're already grown-ups, but love to be inspired. My school serves students who are born into wealth and students who were born with nothing. Each week, I have conversations with kids who are unsure whether or not they will have food to eat or a place to stay. I've watched kids cry as they commiserate with Huck Finn's difficult childhood and other kids explain that Jay Gatsby was chasing a false dream because money doesn't bring happiness. Each year, I watch my students bond across lines that society tells them ought to divide. These 17 and 18 year old kids are still kids, still curious about other races, religions, and lifestyles.
