11 year old Kimberly Wakes up, goes to school and comes home. Thats atleast what everyone thinks. Kimberlys parents and verbally abusive to her. Therefor she lacks beliefe in herself. She has difficulty reading and writng and is in danger of being held back. Her Social Studies Teacher Mr.Porter cannot help but notice her struggle but also notice's her potential to become great. He takes it upon himself to pay a little extra attention to Kimberly to see where her weak and strong points are. Kimberly is happy to be reciving the positive attention she's always wanted. Kimberlys parents soon notice that shes reciving extra help when she stays after school so her parents dont allow her to stay after school. Kimberly then falls into a depression because she can no longer get the attention she deserved.
Her teacher Mr.Porter makes it his mission to find a way to help Kimberly reach her full potential no matter what he has to do. He Begins meeting her at lunch and sending her home with work packets and instructions so that she can refer to his comments so she can complete her work better. After many months of working her reading and writing levels start to rise but its already the end of the year and ger chances of being promoted to the next grade are very slim. Mr.Porter finds it only fair to fight for her as she has fought for herself. He confronts the principle of the school with her new reading and writing levels showing her potential to increase her grades enough to be able to go to the next grade. The principle will only give her one chance to pass. she must pass a basic learning test and if she passses she will be promoted to the next grade and will be able to be able to continue in her path to sucess.
