Many of my juniors and seniors come from low-income, working class families, many of whom English is not the primary language spoken by themselves or their parents. Most are under the impression that they will continue to work in the same minimum-wage jobs their parents currently work for. Our school is very large for a Hawaii High School, but it prides itself on trying to give every student the opportunity to experience different career pathways in the hopes that despite their socio-economic circumstances, students will strive to perform well in many aspects and live more prosperous lives.
