My students, although highly disadvantaged, are imaginative, energetic, and motivated to become college-bound scholars. They reside in a poor inner city neighborhood and all qualify for free lunch in our Title 1 school. At home, there is little access to technology and parental involvement is limited, at best. With such challenges to deal with, many of my students are struggling with reading and comprehension. However, because of their high motivation, they have pushed themselves and are on the cusp of meeting state standards. They just need a slight push in the right direction.
