My Students

The students I serve come from diverse populations and many walks of life. I see immigrant students from all over the world along with students and families that are confronted with a lot of challenges. As the neighborhood that surrounds our school is full of many bad influences such as crime and drugs, the students are slowly not able to afford to live here anymore. A lot of time these challenges are frequent and students often come and go. The only stability a student may see in thier lives is inside their school walls. For some the only meal they receive is in our cafeteria, as for others this is not the case.

The students I serve are very special, in a good way.

Many need a strong foundation in not only academics but often times in self confidence, self image and self worth. This takes hard work but can be done. If someone simply cares to make a difference.

My Project

This year I was offered the privilege to coach our girls soccer team. The lady wildcats! I want to take the experience to give my students something to be proud of. I am making sure to give my best in practices and encouraging the students to keep up with their grades and maintain a positive attitude. On the field in the past the uniforms have been mismatched and un-unified. This year we received new blue and white uniforms but, we did not receive any soccer socks. Although I know it's simple I am requesting to allow my girls to all have matching soccer socks for this years team. This would be amazing for our self image.
