It positively destroys me to be creating this project. My school is designated as "high poverty" but, I'm pretty sure if you're reading this, you don't really know what that means. Since I’ve been at this school, I've seen students come to class in the same dirty clothes day after day. I've seen students who felt embarrassed because they knew they smelled bad but couldn't do anything about it. I've had students ask me if they could stash extra lunches in my office fridge so they could take them home later because they knew they had nothing in the kitchen at home. Often time’s student’s come into my office saying that their stomach hurts because they haven’t had anything to eat.
