The U.S. has been grappling with racial inequalities for generations. Despite numerous changes, some things remain the same, keeping the race gap alive and kicking. 😔
For students like Lia Rivero, these inequalities hit close to home. \"Originally, I'm from Long Island, so from that transition to here is very different. I transitioned to a new school, called Urban Dove TEAM Charter. Nobody's encouraging me to do anything in that school, and it's very, very hard. The work is not as easy. There's no counselors in my school. It's really bad,\" she shared.
Lia's experience highlights the challenges many students face in under-resourced schools. Lack of support, guidance, and resources can make education an uphill battle. 🎒💔
The absence of school counselors leaves students without essential support systems, widening the race gap even further. It's a cycle that needs breaking for the sake of future generations.
Addressing these issues is crucial to creating a more equitable society where every student has the opportunity to succeed. Let's spark the conversation and work towards change! ✨
