Imagine that you are a young child, and your parents tell you that your family will move to a new country. You leave your friends behind, your family, and everything you have ever known. Your new life is full things you don't understand; a new school, a new language, new food, and a new culture. Many of my ESL students are living this experience. However, when they walk into our school, they find that they are accepted, loved, and viewed as capable of anything they put their mind and hard work to. The fact that they live in a highly impoverished area, or the fact that they attend a title 1 school will not define them. Their language barriers will not keep them from success. This is my goal every day as an educator.
