My current site is Ravenna Head Start. A Head Start is a preschool for children whose families currently live in poverty. The teachers that work here show how universal truths are still alive even today.
Head Start teachers are selfless because many times, they have to pay for supplies with their own money. Head Starts only receive a certain budget, since the government funds them. If they go over the budget, teachers often use their own money. The teachers always put the kids first. For example, my teacher, Miss Angela, noticed that one of the kids would not eat lunch. She went through the trouble of convincing the child’s other school to give him more food, even though they were reluctant at first.
The teachers are also very loyal. They work with the children on their own accord. It is very easy for them to apply for a job at another school, which pays significantly higher. But they show a constant allegiance to the Head Start program.
Lastly, the teachers are very brave. They must stay strong for their students, as they come from many difficult backgrounds. It is possible for some of the students to show signs of abuse, which the teachers must report. Although it seems like a simple procedure, the actions taken to file the report also shows bravery, because they may have to confront the abusive father or mother.
