Summary
My experience working with students from various backgrounds has taught me to always get to know your students and never assume you know your students. I have had the privilege to witness phenomenal students shine in various areas (arts, math, english, sports etc.) from elementary to high school. It would be a wonderful opportunity to continue creating a space where students are celebrated and know they are heard and seen. Also, a space for them to flourish in their passions.
