If I could describe my students in one word, it would be resilient! I have seen year after year the systemic hardships my students face, endure, and overcome. I truly appreciate their eagerness to excitement to grow and learn.

I admire my students' resiliency, however it is their kindness, loyalty, and humor that inspire me teach everyday.

This particular age is so amazing, because they are still kids but not short of adolescence. For this reason, they deserve a warm and inviting learning environment that encourages collaboration and community.
