Gangs

I have seriously been a sheltered child. I am working in Las Vegas and am learning more and more about gangs. I am not positive but I am pretty sure I have students who are involved in this stuff. It is so sad to me that these young kids are getting involved with this stuff at such a young age. Growing up in the state of NY you would think I knew about all this, but I have no clue. I love all my students to do death and would be absolutely heart broken if anything was to happen to any of them. Yes its only been two weeks but these kids are amazing. yes they are noisy and aren't always willing to participate but they are my first students ever and they couldn't be any better if they were hand picked. I am so blessed with everything in my life right now, I hope that as a teacher I can touch students lives, and maybe make them a little bit better, or at least help them make better decisions for their future. I miss you all but just know that I am having the time of my life..
