My students are quirky. Some teachers may see this as a challenge. I see it as my reason for getting up in the morning. They each have their own individual passions (dance, soccer, writing, history), and watching them explore those passions inspires me. From my students who are self-motivated to succeed, to those who have parents who either push them to be overachievers or hardly notice them to push them at all, they run the gamut. Each one is so uniquely individual, but they share a common trait. They love to try anything new that will set them apart from their peers. Their excitement at starting an on-line newspaper to showcase their writing talents, has them motivated and anxious to begin. My students have many of the benefits that students in other areas do not. A supportive PTO supplies teachers/students with a wide range of materials, but the economy has hit our families hard and they are now more limited with how much they can help us.
