My students are from all over the world. My students are in their mid to late teens and recently came to the United States in hopes of a better life for themselves and their families. In addition to attending school daily, most of my students also work thirty to forty hours a week at night after school. They always enter the classroom enthusiastic and motivated. My students are eager to learn, succeed, and make the world a better place
