My class is comprised of 12 boys and 10 girls. All students receive free lunch. The class is diverse in that we have English speakers of other languages, some students with I.E.P's and all melded together in a self contained classroom. Some of these students looped with me from 3rd grade.
Position:

College and Degrees:
St. Xavier University, Chicago IL
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because it gives me an opportunity to give back. I was a paralegal for years but never felt fulfilled like I was giving back to society. Through teaching Title 1 students I am able to provide opportunities and learning that would otherwise not be provided because of economic circumstances.
