I am an art teacher at CS 134 at a very high needs area in the Bronx. All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch. They come from poor homes and an extremely low socio-economic neighborhood. Some of them don’t even have a warm bed to sleep in at night, or food in their pantry. As their art teacher I am a constant support for them, and role model. One of the biggest rewards I have is to provide my students with the gift of creativity. I teach them that they have the power to create their own personal artistic vision. In a place where they struggle with so many challenges and obstacles, it is important for them to know that each one of them has that power all on their own.
