I work with inner city special education students who are affected by poverty. My students come from single parent homes, foster homes or are homeless. Every day is a struggle for them just to get to school. Many of them suffer from mental health issues and are untreated due to the lack of resources in the area. Our high school is the second largest high school in Massachusetts. The majority of our students are minorities, and English is their second language. Many of our students' parents do not speak English and are trying their best to support their child.
