My students come from the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. Most of my students live in public housing. Most people would view my students as less likely to make it to college and victims of poverty. I like to view my students as the smart scholars that they are. They have unlimited and sometimes untapped potential but they are all very bright and eager to learn. We do not have many resources but what we do have we use wisely. We treat each other with respect in our classroom. The students are high energy and come in each morning ready to learn. Though our school is in the center of a very impoverished neighborhood it is full of laughter, joy, and caring teachers. There is never a dull moment. My students take pride in their school and being in my classroom and will tell you every chance that they get that they are going to college.
