Life in the City

¡Dale! Welcome to the 305! There is always something fun to do and someone fun to talk to. After a walk down south beach, cool off with  a dip in our convent pool, before going to the Everglades for an afternoon hike. After popping by North Beach for a quick nap, don’t forget to grab some croquettes and some Cuban coffee before heading down to Wynwood and Brickell for a fun night out. The next morning, you can go to the local church which is a one minute walk from our front door before coming back for convent brunch with Pitbull.

Though this is definitely, always, undoubtedly a typical weekend in Miami, we also have lots of fun supporting one another in the sunshine state in our fifteen bedroom convent watching movies, cooking daily community dinner, and floating in the pool lesson planning. All ACEers are always welcome to come enjoy our wonderful home with us.

What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE Teaching Fellows?

One of my favorite memories from my first year of teaching in ACE has to be when I participated in my school's color run at the end of the year. My fellow teachers and I got to chase all the students with the different colors, and it was an afternoon of laughter, running, smiling, and lots of good memories.

What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE Teaching Fellows?

I loved coming home each night to our wonderful convent and sharing what happened at school that day with my housemates. I think my favorite moments were from when I shared the funny, sweet, and sometimes challenging moments and felt how much my community members cared about me and in addition, my students.
