Some of my students attend school just to get the free meals, as they don't know what waits for them at home. They hold many roles: students, cooks, babysitters for younger siblings, schedule keepers for the family, interpreters when their parents don't speak English, athletes, and role models. Many of my students are worried about where their next meal may come from, or where they may sleep that evening. I try to give them a positive place where they are respected by myself and peers, and can put away some of those extremely difficult jobs for a while and dive into science. . They can collaborate, experiment, and investigate a future in science that is rewarding and fulfilling. Even simple supplies are hard to come by for my students. Low income is the norm, and access to technology is sparse. To help them believe they can be a part of science, they must have the chance provided.
