What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE Teaching Fellows?
My favorite memory is reading the sonnets my students wrote for our unit on Shakespearean sonnets! They showed off an impressive mastery of word choice and sonnet structure while also communicating an astounding depth of thought and feeling beyond my wildest expectations. They were so eager to produce their best work, too, and it was a beautiful experience to witness!

What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE Teaching Fellows?
I was able to coach a 5-6 grade girls soccer team in my community. Our last game against our rival ended in a comeback draw and the girls were all thrilled.
