My students are 7th and 8th graders at a charter school in St. Paul. 99% of my students are first- or second-generation immigrants from Somalia. My school has a really strong community rooted in the shared cultural heritage of my students. Even in 3 weeks at my school, I've learned so much from my students about the experience of being a Somali Minnesotan. I've also learned a lot about sass. Prior to taking this job, I truly underestimated how hilarious my kids would be. I've seen more rolled eyes and hair flips in the last 3 weeks than I have since I was in 8th grade. I seriously considered putting a gas mask to prevent inhalation of Axe body spray on this list. Teaching middle school is the greatest, and I'm so lucky to have this privilege.
