I could not rationalize how a classmate did not have something as simple as a pencil
Throughout the past few years I've noticed a large issue with students and classmates throughout my own community. Many students were stepping into the classroom without the essential learning tools they needed. As a teen who loves to learn and enjoys school very much, it was concerning to me, as I could not rationalize how a classmate could not have something as simple as a pencil. I would always offer them one of mine, but this led me to having a long discussion with my parents and doing some research.

I would love to meet with your class! Although I realize all meetings at this point in time are virtual, I am anxious to ZOOM into more classrooms this school year! I love chatting with the kids about how important it is to get an education and how important it is to be kind to one another!
I would also love to speak with any other community organizations about the impact I hope to make in our world, and how you can help!
