My school is in a very high poverty area of NYC. Some of my students who attend my school live in shelters, come in hungry, have stains on their clothes, and are exhausted from taking care of younger siblings or not being able to sleep because they live in such close quarters to others. Additionally, many have IEPs (individual educational plans) that are geared towards their special education requirements so they can succeed. I do my best to meet the needs of all my students, and try the best I can to push them forward so they can excel. Many of my students are far behind grade level, and I try to incorporate as many enrichment activities as possible to help close these gaps.
