Teaching 9th grade Advanced Freshman English in a high minority based, impoverished high school is challenging. However, the students I teach have applied to and have been accepted into a rigorous, university preparation program which requires a great deal of dedication and hard work. This is a challenge, as the culture and climate of their community environment is contrary to the type of motivation that is required to succeed in this type of program and beyond. For example, many of my students are from families where they will be the first to graduate from high school, let alone attend a major university.
