As some of you may know, I will be embarking on my teaching journey with Teach for America at YES Prep Public Schools Southeast Campus in less than 2 weeks where I will be teaching 7th grade Texas History. I am so excited for this opportunity to grow as an educator/ change-maker, learn from my students' curiosities and narratives, and the community. Nearly all of my students, in my 6 periods, come from low-income families. Keeping this in mind, 1 in 3 students from low income communities are expected to graduate from high school, and only 9% of this very small percentage are expected to graduate from college. This shows that the odds are against our students but I will not let that be the static reality of students. I choose to break down these statistics and barriers for my students; bending and twisting to meet their academic and socio-emotional needs. With that said, I need your help to provide my students with school supplies and classroom materials. I envision providing a space for my students that is comfortable, safe and meets their learning needs. That means, giving my students the option of flexible seating and a more stimulating/ engaging classroom layout. My school is limited in what they can provide for my students so it is up to me to decide to provide them with what they deserve in order to flourish. #ONEDAYALLCHILDREN
