My students are awesome. They are 16- and 17-year-old bundles of energy. I appreciate that most of them are inquisitive and willing to learn. They definitely have opinions, and they are not afraid to share. Our school is predominantly White and has many subgroups, such as Asian, Latino and African American. What I love about our students is that they are willing to see concepts from other people's points of view. Of course, prejudice exists everywhere, but I feel like students at our school are very good at integrating and accepting others. They make me laugh everyday. Sometimes I'll hear a drum circle, sometimes I'll see the Dumbledore's Army club doing a fundraiser. They are diverse in more ways than race. They are interested in helping the world, but they feel stuck in their materialistic city. They try to fit in, but I know they want to be unique. And some of them really do a good job of expressing that individuality.
