Grads from ACE Teaching Fellows Discuss Vocations Making a Difference

"Be ready for a wonderful ride," says Maggie Smith, an ACE graduate and Catholic school teacher who has a 9-month-old daughter, when asked what advice she would give to a mom who is considering being a teacher.

"There will be times when balancing teaching and motherhood seems too much to handle," says fellow ACE Teaching Fellows grad Stacy Wall, "but know that the daily challenges make you a more compassionate teacher and a more appreciative mother."

These conversations, plus an interview with ACE Teaching Fellows director of operations Amy Wyskochil, were reported in a two-part story at Lisa Hendey's Catholic Mom blog. Read Amy's description of ACE in part one, and read more about Maggie and Stacy in part two.
