My Students
I have a class of 30 respectful, smart, and responsible students. Over 90% of my students live in poverty and their families are struggling to make ends meet. School supplies are not a priority for most. I love that my students are resilient and continue to beat the odds regardless of the situation.
My Project
The book selections (I am Enough, I am Everything Good) will help African American students learn more about their culture and begin/continue to know their importance. Black literature gives us a more precise representation of Black people in the literary world. There is a problem with people of color in literature being misrepresented. This problem not only incorrectly proves the media right by portraying these stereotypes, but they also affect the way the people who read them leading them to believe the subject being depicted inaccurately portrayed. As a result, students will be more confident and motivated to learn.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
