I am so excited about our trip to DC! We have worked for
four long, strenuous months and it is finally paying off. I wish that I could
appropriately express my gratitude to those that contributed to our going to
DC, but it is almost impossible. They have done so much.
I am so extremely excited for the trip and am
only anxious for the airplane ride. I am eager to meet and jump right into the
Washington DC atmosphere. I want to get the insight of every person within my
plane of interest, which is “Lack of Resources.” I jumped on this topic,
because in my opinion, it is the reason for all of the other issues within
inner-city schools. I feel that it affects us the most directly. If the issue
of lack of resources was non-existent the cycle of poverty would be broken. The
reason that children are not appropriately learning is because they are not
offered the same resources that “successful” children are. This lack of
resource topic leads to my further detailed research of “The Thirty Million
Word Gap”- the gap of words that resides between low socioeconomic and high
socioeconomic status children. My research in DC will focus on these two topics
and early childhood education, because I believe that early childhood
development and education is key to future success. I am so excited to see
where DC, the research I do in DC, and the time that I spend with my SOLE group
in DC affects me and my growth into the solving of this problem known as
education inequity.
