Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Many of my students persevere even though they come from difficult family situations and low socioeconomic circumstances. Most are Title 1, with many coming from single-parent homes, and many have severely traumatic experiences or current situations. Though many of them come to our high school from underserved schools, often reaching us with severely deficient academic skills, many of them struggle to persevere in maintaining a positive attitude and the commitment to succeed.
My Project
Most of the students I work with struggle. They have had to struggle against being devalued, and they struggle against coming from fractured families. They struggle against trauma, for some sudden and for some daily. And they struggle against feeling stuck in a lives with few options.
But struggle is good; it's good when compared to the alternative of giving up.
The struggle is tougher now than ever and we have to work to make sure isolation, grief, and hopelessness don't overwhelm the students. The laptop requested will allow me to not only to more effectively review transcripts and develop schedules the students, but -- most important now -- it will enable me to have counseling sessions with my students without having to worry about connection difficulties.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
