Our school is a diverse, high-poverty school with a student body of over 1,700. More than 100 of our students are homeless. I work 70 hours per week on average, but unfortunately, this is not enough to meet my students' academic needs. You see, our school is grossly underfunded and does not have enough books for its large population of students. I currently teach 148 students, but our school may only have a total of 10 copies of any given novel. And this is if we even have a particular novel, which most time we don't. The books we do have are old, falling apart, and are not even of appropriate reading level. Many of the novels in our inventory are typically read in elementary or middle school. My students may not be privileged, but they are smart and are hungry for something interesting to read!
