My students are curious, imaginative and resilient. Every day they come ready to learn and ready to challenge and question the world around them. As a school, we pride ourselves on inspiring students to embrace their individuality and are always exploring new ways for students to express themselves. My students are predominantly Latino/a and African American and they come from some of the most violent and impoverished neighborhoods of our state. Their bravery and resilience inspires me every day. In English class, my students are eager to read as many books as they can get their hands on; especially when they are able to find books that tell stories similar to their own. Most of my students, they will be the first in their family to have the opportunity to go to college and as such are extremely protective of their education. They are kind, beautiful, strong and full of life. I am lucky to spend my days with them.
