Life in the City
The city is the Midwest of California in terms of friendliness. The location is unbeatable being so close to the mountains, ocean, wine country and the Red Woods. The weather is awesome—best of all ACE communities!

If you had to pick just one word to describe your ACE experience so far, what would it be (and why)?
Humbling. The opportunity to enter so many new communities and learn and grow in them has changed my perspective on what it means to give of myself and experience empathy. There is so much to learn about being a teacher and from being a teacher.

If you had to pick just one word to describe your ACE experience so far, what would it be (and why)?
Sparkly: Elementary education has let me again view the world with a lens of childlike wonder, where every science experiment is an awe-inspiring equivalent of alchemy, every minor holiday becomes a major event, and mundane tasks like reading or addition are still new and exciting!
