    "From teaching in the Washington District you are able to get a hands on experience with all different kinds of students. I was able to work with a variety of students and see firsthand how home life can affect a student. It was a very eye opening and rewarding experience. I loved how involved everyone was and how they welcomed me. Everyone was willing to help me in any way I needed help as well."
