My students attend an inner city public school in Massachusetts. We are an extended learning time school and students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of my students have unfortunate home situations. From absent family members due to health issues and violence to financial struggles, the range of challenges these students face is incredible. Although that can be overwhelming for them at times, each and every one of them have dreams and goals. They are mentally capable and socially aware. They are passionate about the world and caring and compassionate towards their teachers.
