A2LP is not a class, A2LP is an experience. This experience is not about getting the grade, writing the perfect paper, or cramming before the exam. A2LP is helping expand the minds of little ones, walking into a room of thirty smiling faces and automatically feeling loved, and genuinely being part of a community. A2LP has given me perspective and confidence not only in my teaching, but in my life as well. As I think about the experience that I have had thus far through A2LP, I can’t help but to image how I will incorporate all that I have learned through this program into my future classroom, and always have my first group of students in my heart as I grow and move forward
