She worked mostly with ESL students. I would grab some 5 dollar pizzas and sodas, and bring em in for her. Her kids loved her, brought her votive candles with Mary, Tamales, and other treats. One of her kids, graduated from high school and went to college about 3 years back.
She would go in at 6am, and not get him till after 6. She helped with every event, stayed after school, and never got a single dime more than the 50g she made per year. With two masters degrees. But she always found a way to bring some joy to them.
And it matters to the kids.
Its so hard to see how they are treated by the system.
I feel like we treat people horribly. Especially kids.
