My students come from a diverse background, but what most of them have in common is that they are economically disadvantaged. They are children who need hope, encouragement and expectations - high expectations. They need to know that others believe they can achieve, and in that belief, they can come to realize what truly they are capable of accomplishing. Many of my students come from single-parent homes. Most probably own few, if any books. These students need more than just negative experiences.
