I am searching for someone to inspire and make a difference in the lives of children who need it the most. I am a fourth grade teacher in a very low-income, high-need area of New York. I've taught the same twenty students in second through fourth grades. As a result, my students and I have developed a positive relationship through the years. My students come from diverse backgrounds and face many challenges both at school and at home, as well as a lack of school materials and resources. About half of my students come from families who speak a language other than English at home. This makes parental involvement very difficult to attain. Therefore, I feel a great responsibility to teach these children all I can, and to the best of my ability. Despite the numerous challenges we face, I believe my students possess a great deal of academic potential.
