Summer School

Summer School:
Biology
Edison High, Inner City Philadelphia

1. Noel pinky-sweared me he start coming to class on time. He's kept his promise.
2. Yanina realized shes smart. Shes been acing her assignments ever since.
3. Zuliema decided she wants to pass biology this summer. She's stopped sleeping and wants extra tutoring.
4. Hector and Luis gave me their emails so they could make up the extra work they missed when they were absent. Out of their own volition.
5. Alexia realized shes good at biology and has been on time every day since.
6. Erica was worried about failing again. She has a 93% in our class.

Despite some of the horrible lessons I've given, the hours I haven't slept, and the long road ahead before I can actually call myself a good teacher - these are some of the victories.

I love these kids more than life.
