Whenever I think about how my life immediately changed, I think about my change from a high needs school to one of the best high schools in Virginia. I grew up in the DC metro area and spent most of my life bouncing between schools that were worse than the last. When I was in 9th grade, I moved. I was lucky to move to a much better school district because my aunt owned a home there. I think about how circumstance changed my life a lot. Whenever I am interacting with my students, I think about how I felt as a student. I think about the teachers who didn’t think any of us would get too far in live and I let my experiences as an “inner city” youth guide me while I am teaching.
