A majority of the students in my class come from middle class, double-income homes. They are the children of hardworking parents who support our school's emphasis on the foundation of academics leading to a college education. Each classroom has a college connection, and as students progress in grade levels from year to year, their eyes are opened to new colleges and the many opportunities those colleges provide. Some of my students participate in after school activities that enhance their lives, but unfortunately, a growing number are unable to do so. My students belong to a school that is a part of a tight knit community - one whose families look after each other.
I have seen firsthand, the interest that technology brings to my students (and others for that matter). Learning comes alive whenever books are supplemented with videos, computers, and the internet. When the fire of learning is stoked by technology that these kids experience, the knowledge they gain is limitless.
