“I think it’s important to teach my students how to use the right tools in school that will benefit them in the future. I want to hear stories of the kids that I’ve worked with that they have a job, a home, and that they’re surviving and contributing to society. When they accomplish something in class, you see their eyes light up and you know that you’re a part of that. All the kids are like clay. We’re here molding them into somebody big, somebody special. That’s what makes me come to school. It’s exciting and it’s rewarding.
—Matthew Young, Special Needs Paraprofessional at John Yehall Chin Elementary School
