My Students

The students I service are from the side of Chicago which is considered a poverty stricken neighborhood where they look for our school to provide resources in social emotional learning and mental health to help them heal from the trauma and the changes we are facing this school year.

My students are ecstatic to learn, but due to COVID-19, there have been barriers.

Currently, all students are learning from home and they have thrived under several difficult situations including the impact by not being able to socialize with their classmates face to face and missing out on in person schooling.

Every day I provide virtual individual and group counseling, lessons on emotions, feelings, study skills, career development, classroom management, provide teachers resource to cope with emotions, grief, self-esteem, conflict, depression, bullying ,loneliness, and suicide.

My Project

Our school is now on the hybrid learning model and these material will help my students to connect with their feelings, emotions, and boost their self-esteem and confidence as well as breathe some clean air in the classroom. In addition, they will gain life long lessons to help them keep control of their feelings, emotions, and anger. It is the hope that they will lead their community to help rebuild their school and community culture. Finally, my students will be able to serve their community and others around them as they gain knowledge to express themselves in a positive matter.
