If you had to pick just one word to describe your ACE experience so far, what would it be?
Fulfilling. Teaching 9th grade has been perhaps the most fulfilling experience of my life. Their eagerness and curiosity helps make me a better educator, and I am looking forward to returning to Milwaukee in the fall to greet them (and new ones) again.
