“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.”
– Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson speaks about believing in yourself and always striving to be the best that you can be. Regardless of how much you believe in yourself, or your abilities today, I hold an genuine commitment to help you be the very best student you can be. I will provide a safe place for you to learn, and build a sense of community around you. My goal is also to provide you with authentic and meaningful learning opportunities, and engage you in the work we do. Hold tight!

For Parents:
In the first video I saw a kid just twelve years old who knew he could make a difference in the world about child labour, hunger, poverty, health, and homelessness and he did. I felt disgusted that people make children work with the risk of getting terrible illnesses. I also felt shocked that if a child got hurt the only thing people would do is tell them to just wash it off. I think that it’s horrible that people have to live these types of lives, and other people just sit around watching this happen in their community not thinking how they must feel. I think that we can make a positive difference, make people aware, tell them that we can do something about it. We have the power to make the world a better place if we all take action
