My students live in a major city in Pennsylvania. The school is a public school, but has a music focus. They come from a variety of backgrounds and ethnic groups, which adds a lot to the culture of the school. The students have a thirst for knowledge, but do not possess the money or resources to obtain that knowledge on their own. They are incredible 7th grade students and deserve the best that education has to offer. Turning 13, they are at a pivotal age, which can determine the positive or negative paths they may take in life.
