Belief Statement
I believe that all students have the capability to reach their goals when we meet students where they are. By being compassionate, empathic, and a listener students would be able to grow their academic skills as well as coping skills that will aid them in being a happy healthy adult. And when students get their basic needs met they would thrive.
