Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Without this baseball glove, my students will not be able to compete with the rest of the teams in their district. With this baseball glove, they will be able to see and realize that there are people who believe in them and in what they do. Not many of them know what they are going to be doing in a few years, but I can tell you that they have a passion and love for baseball. That is their motivation. The things they are able to understand through baseball, I try to implement in real life. I believe this will show them responsibility. They are great people, but I want them to be better athletes and people. I want to steer them in the direction that propels them to become the leaders we need tomorrow. I know that it will also build more confidence in them as a team. They will be recognized for their unity.
