We are an urban inner city school in one of the largest metropolitan areas in California. As most people across our great nation have heard we rank 47 out of 50 in public funds going directly to our students. In our school, the majority of students are black and latino. The area where most of my students live has high crime, rampant drug abusers, and high teen pregnancies. I teach my students that through education they can rise above their current circumstances. Volleyball is an after school activity that gives them an opportunity to be a part of a positive environment. Sports in general provide an opportunity for low income students to have access to scholarships to attend college. These girls want a better life. My goal is to give them activities that promote life skills and life long interest in fitness. It is up to you to help provide us with the basic resources.
