My Project

High School is arguably the most impactful time in a student's life. They are experiencing change in so many aspects. They often don't know who they are and use this time in their lives to choose a path, good or bad. Many of my students deal with situations that no one should have to endure, let alone a child, and the strength to defy those odds is what makes my students incredible.

Reading is something I have always been passionate about, and sharing my love for reading with others has been a life goal.

Many people do not enjoy reading because they have been forced to read novels for grades and not for enjoyment. This year in my English classes, I have decided to try giving my students the freedom to choose the books they want to read and with that being said, I need to have the resources available to allow them to find a book they will enjoy.

By donating the novels, I have included here, you will be opening my students up to a whole new world of reading. My students chose the novels I have included because they WANT to read them. They have a desire to dive into the stories that these novels contain. My students do not have access to these books outside of school and our school library is too small to give them the range of choice they deserve.

I hope that you will consider helping give my students access to the world that is out there for them. Your kindness is appreciated by so many teachers, and we cannot thank you enough for supporting our classrooms. When you invest in the children of today, you are investing in the future of our world.
