" I am ready, I am here. My attention is focused, my mind is clear. With everything I have, I am going to try, To be the greatest scholar, to soar high. No problem too hard; I will not fail. I will succeed; I will prevail." Each morning my scholars recite those words with zest and passion before starting the school day. Each day is a great opportunity for learning. Birth in an area where the unemployment rate is three times that of the national average and more than 39% of its residents are below the poverty line. Each day is also a struggle to overcome the hardships of life. Yet, my scholars, with unwavering resilience, are determined to learn. They have discovered one of life's best kept secrets: that reading is fun! You can go back in the past or take a trip to the future. Talking animals and magical kingdoms come to life right out of the pages of books.
