My Project

I work at a Title I school in a high-poverty, high-crime area, and my students face daily challenges that many of us can’t imagine. Despite these hardships, they come to school with hope, resilience, and an eagerness to learn. They’re a group of young people who inspire me every day with their strength, perseverance, and unique perspectives. What makes them special is their ability to rise above difficult circumstances and still find joy in their learning.

The ramen noodles I’m requesting will provide my students with a warm, comforting meal that they can rely on during school hours.

Many of my students come to school without having had a proper breakfast or lunch, and having access to a simple, hot meal can make all the difference in their ability to focus and succeed in class. These noodles will give them the energy they need to engage in their lessons, participate in activities, and perform at their best.
