I’ve been visiting Butler Bilingual now for a couple of weeks and one girl and her family has especially impacted me and would be a great story for my paper. In my paper, one thing I focus on is the impact of parents on their children and their successfulness in their education. A first grader named Storm and her mother perfectly represent the positive relationship I wanted to show in my paper. Storm’s mother spends almost an hour everyday at Butler helping Storm, her other daughter, and the other kids with their homework after school. It’s apparent how much Storm’s mother really cares about her daughters and their education, something that isn’t so obvious with most of the kids. Because she puts so much effort into helping her kids and being part of their education, they do much better in their academics. Storm is one of the most advanced first graders in her class, even more advanced than a lot of the third graders that I tutor as well. It is this kind of relationship that I wish every child could have with their parents. I know that if each of their parents paid this much attention to them they would do much better. It disappoints me so much that they weren’t born into a situation that would push them as hard to get ahead in life.
