Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I love how my students start off as a little seed, and by the time they leave, they are a beautiful flower. When they leave, I want them to not just remember how much they enjoyed their kindergarten year or how much I supported them and cheered them on, but that they can do anything they put their mind on. I chose this career because I want to make a difference in their life and motivate them when others give them an excuse why they can’t do and be amazing.
