My Project

The part of my job that is most important to me is the students that for sure, however, on many occasions I hear my stomach hurts and/or I have a headache. When speaking with students I learn they haven't eaten anything, they skipped breakfast, lunch line is to long and sometimes there isn't any food in the house.

Fuel for thought, a quick breakfast bar, protein bar, yogurt, nutella on the go, oatmeal, or a snack to help the student return to class more focused and ready to learn.

If this what it takes to make the day easier then why not.

The students I work with come from a variety home situations and back grounds and if this one thing can make a small difference then I feel I helped. I was that student when I was in school I had a teacher that I will never forget that gave me a soda and some chips and to this day I know she made a difference, she cared. I wonder sometimes if it wasn't for simple moment of time where would I be. Fuel for thought, it made me who I am today, and I hope with a quick lunch or snack I can make a difference to.
