My avator is picture of a beach on the Domincan Republic. Two summers ago I spent a week tutoring children in Monte Cristi, Domincan Republic with a few other students from my high school. The classroom consisted of a concrete floor and a frail wooden roof, and the children came from low income families. Coming from a student who had an opposite education experience it was a very life changing moment. All the children remained with great similes on their faces and a strong eager to learn, which was truly admirable. After this trip I found an even greater importance for education from seeing it through the lense of these Dominican children.
