I teach Physical Education to 7th and 8th grade students at a Title I school in Los Angeles where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. My students have a range of physical abilities that have not been properly nurtured for because of the lack of equipment and physical education. My students are the leaders of tomorrow because they know what it's like to have to work hard in order to be successful. Their home life may not make it easy for them, but they have the thirst for learning and the desire to make the best of the hand that they have been dealt. All my students are capable of learning and deserve the same opportunity as their peers to further their knowledge in health and develop new skills. My students need to be exposed to different games and cultures that will broaden their perspective and make them better citizens for tomorrow.
