My students are some of the funniest and most genuine kids I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They help to make my day go by quickly. They always seem find the light at the end of a sometimes gloomy tunnel. My students live in a large city in New Jersey. Many of my students are from families that struggle financially and barely make ends meet. Many of my students face difficulties on a daily basis. Sometimes just getting to school is a challenge and while they are there I want to keep them interested. Our high school is large and many times the resources teachers would like are met challenges. Usually those challenges are due to a lack of money. Teachers make due, but many times dipping into our own pocketbooks proves costly.
