I'm always being asked why I want to be a teacher in a Chicago public school when I could make more money in a suburban district or a charter. My answer is simple: there is something about working with urban youth that really excites me. My diverse group of special education students face challenges that would cripple so many others and yet they have a resilience that is awe-inspiring and motivates me to come to work each day. These middle schoolers are in that transition from children to young adults. It is a difficult time in their lives and I love that I get to help them develop the skills they will need to lead successful, independent lives. Any help that I could get with providing the materials they need to learn and grow would be greatly appreciated.
