What kind of impact has ACE had on your life?
ACE has been a challenging and exciting time in my life where I have been able to transition from having no experience teaching to now leading a class of eager fourth graders studying everything from novels, to the Ten Commandments, to long division. It has been wonderful living in a supportive community where your home and friends are built into one, just like my college experience. ACE prepares teachers very well, and I have had a great time living at Notre Dame for the past two summers. I consider myself extremely blessed to have had two such memorable and fun-filled years as a part of the Alliance for Catholic Education.
