In our society there is tremendous disparity of educational resources between students on high an low income backgrounds. While students at private schools, or public schools in affluent areas, have access to tutors and adequate learning environments, students at schools with less financial stability are left to fend for themselves and are set behind simply due to a lack of resources and support. With the help of Mrs. Wiener and Penina I would like to develop a system of support to help level the playing field for the students who are not receiving adequate support from their schools and communities. We are not the first people to realize this issue and a couple of organizations have been created to help and books have been written on the inequality in education. I plan to either work with existing organizations- or even start a new one- to help be a part of the solution, but will first have to learn more about the issues. I anticipate that this will be a difficult undertaking but thankfully I have been blessed with the resources to make it happen; now I want to give that opportunity to others.
