#WHYISERVE - Meet Tiara Dowling a first-year AmeriCorps member serving at Warren G. Harding Middle School. “I serve to give back to the city I live in, I cannot turn a blind eye to the injustices occurring within my city. To learn from my students is to learn how to be a better educator, person, and friend. The bonds I have made so far will be with me for the rest of my life. Our students are our future and they are going to be a force." #cyphilly #makebetterhappen #phillyphilly #americorps #cityyear
