Life in the City
ACE Austin can be found keeping it caliente on Sixth Street, floating down the Guadalupe River, catching a live show in the city, exploring a dive restaurant, walking around UT, or taking a drive to visit the other TexACE communities.

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
I said yes to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE because of the dedicated teachers who taught me throughout my 15 years in Catholic schools. I was blessed to be surrounded by teachers who helped me to grow in my academics, socio-emotional development, and spirituality. It is my aspiration to do this for my own students, as I watch them develop into their most authentic, Christ-like selves!

If you had to pick just one word to describe your ACE experience so far, what would it be (and why)?
"Humbling" because ACE has shown me that God can lead us places where we do not feel initially comfortable and still give us the strength to succeed.
