My school serves students in a low-income community where every child qualifies for free lunch. Many of my students face challenges far beyond the classroom, including food insecurity, housing instability, and community violence. As a school community, we have experienced trauma — but what inspires me every single day is my students’ incredible resilience.
My students show up to school even on the hardest mornings. Some come in wearing clothes that weren’t washed, some arrive without breakfast, and others are late because they had to walk younger siblings to school after their parent left early for work. These are heavy responsibilities for children — yet they still come to school ready to learn.
Despite everything they carry, my students are determined, kind, funny, and hopeful. They want to succeed. They want to feel safe. They want to believe that their future can be brighter than their circumstances.
