My Students

My students come from low economic and socioeconomic backgrounds, but that does not stop them from achieving great things academically and in sports and physical activities. My students do whatever it takes to get things done, from staying after school and walking home, to skipping lunch to practice for tests or games. Many of my 14 to 18-year-olds already work jobs, babysit, mow lawns, and more just to try and save enough to get a college education and graduate.

My students inspire me daily.

All of my students eat free lunch because their economic status is so low across the board. They understand the value and importance of books and materials, but often they can't afford to buy these things on their own. Parents work multiple jobs and are hard to reach, but they care greatly about the success of their children. These are my children, and I do whatever I can to help them succeed as much as possible not just in my class and on the field, but in life.

My Project

I am not just a language arts teacher: I am a teacher who tries to teach her children a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, there is only so much time in the classroom. By exposing them to classic, interesting literature, I can give them the opportunity to learn things on their own, growing as learners and as human beings.

My students do not hate reading; they hate reading boring books.

By giving them access to even a few classic books, I will hopefully be able to show them that not every book is boring and many are actually worthwhile opening. I also want to give them the chance to study for their AP exams independently, allowing those that need the extra assistance a free possibility to learn and grow.
