Robert Frost once said, I am not teacher, I am an awakener. In the past 10 months, I have been able to understand what that truly means. My students have the capability and yearning to achieve great things, requiring only an awakening of their potential. Unfortunately, many societal factors prevent them from ever reaching their potential. With nearly 100% of my students being African American and below the poverty line, we faced numerous challenges this year. In addition to the financial difficulties, many of my students are faced with the unfortunate circumstances of absent fathers, sexual and physical abuse, and inadequate encouragement. With that said, my students exude the characteristics of resilience and courage. Together, we have achieved impressive academic gains and character development, as we try and create an atmosphere of solace in the classroom. This is often difficult, because of the extremely uncomfortable temperature of the class. This can and must be resolved.
