Teaching English as main priority !

  My name is Keena. Equity when that word comes up in my mind, I think of equality for everyone. For my equity project I vlonteered in the WHS. Every tuesday and thursday during huskey period, I volunteered in room 43( Ms.Danner-vera). There my few other friends and I helped the ELL (English Language Learner) in there homework for English and few other classes. I know most things about this students because, I myself went threw the same position as they did to learn English. You guys are very fluent in English but, people like us never got same education as you guys did so, We learned from getting help from others and giving hand to them. Ms.Danner-Vera really liked students like us to help this students getting well educated and learn english to live in this country.

 You will never feel unwelcome in the class because, this students are same as us except, they need a little help from us. Every tuesday and thursday, I help Sajjad and some time Rafiullah. This boys are very corporative and  have a higher goal to learn something new. Rafiullah( Rafi) is always playing around and not doin his work but, once you tell him to do something nicely he'll do it. I like helping this boys because I know both of them since last few year and they are like brothers to me. Now, I am helping Sajjad in his I-Search project while, telling him what to do and asking him few question. I am a little worried about him because, this is his last year in the school while, he can't graduate. He is doing his best to keep good grades. As long as I think about Raf, he improved a lot and we are proud of him.

 I would never stop volunteering at this place because, it is like my second home. I love helping this students. We only have kids in this class from Ms. Danner-vera's ELL class who are seeking for help and trying to go for  ELL-2 and regular english. I don't know why some people make fun of this English Language Learner based on their english accent but, once in while think that they have a same heart as you do. They don't get good education in their countries because, there parents can't affort it or they have to walk 3-4 miles just to get a better education. Please, don't treat this people differently help them, if they cannot pronounce something or can't please help them because, you don't they might go further than you, One Day !
