After my year serving the In the Pines and Even Start programs, I have returned to my original career aspiration of teaching Social Studies. I am currently teaching 8th grade US History at Ramblewood Middle School in Coral Springs, FL. I still visit my wonderful kids and families at my AmeriCorps programs as often as I can, which is never enough. I feel that I learned more than a actually taught during my service year, which has only enhanced
my effectiveness as a traditional classroom teacher. I am now able to bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and patience to a whole new population of students. A quick thanks to Kay Larche, Audrey McDonough, and my team, without whom I would not be the teacher or the person I am today. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
