Dear First Years.....

Dear First Years,

Look around the room. Some of you will quit within the first few days.  Some of you will quit during the first year, while others will at least make it until the end of the first year. Your life is about to change, and if you do what is asked of you, it will only change for the better.  As a Mississippian, I thank you for your interest in wanting to help our children achieve academic success.  Not only do you have the opportunity to teach, but you also have the opportunity to learn about a region that seems to have been misrepresented on a national spectrum.  Yes, the Delta is full of students who live in poverty; however, do not treat these students as such. Enrich their lives with the wealth of knowledge needed to succeed in life.  Be open to new ideas because what you are about to experience is something even Disney World doesn’t hold a fork to! You own the key to alter someone’s life.

Ms. Stewart
