I help shape the future. Through many hardships, tardiness, absenteeism, lice, hunger and poverty, I help make these children strong. Through tears, frustrations, anger and sadness I help make these children feel safe. I help shape the future. I am a friend, a nurse, a parent, a comedian, an actress, a listener, and a shoulder to cry on. I am a teacher. Like many schools we face challenges day to day. Due to the enormous poverty in our area, we face more than challenges. The conditions the children live in are "normal" to them. It is my job to create a new kind of "normal" from 8:35 to 2:30. A "normal" where my students feel loved, safe, fed, and happy is not easy to achieve.
