Life in the City
Down here in DallACE, we like to have a good time. Whether it be hanging out at the pool, visiting the beautiful Dallas Arboretum, or going to open mic standup at Opening Bell Coffee, we love all the awesome things our city has to offer. They say everything’s bigger in Texas, well one thing is for certain, our love for our city is GINORMOUS!

If you had to pick one word to describe your ACE experience thus far, what would it be? Why?
Mural. I think of my ACE experience as a huge work of art that illustrates connections with new friends, breakthroughs with students, and small everyday joys of being in a new city. All of these things come together to make a beautiful memory.
