"So far, my experiences at REACH LA have been extremely valuable and helpful to me. I have learned about my own limitations as a designer and as a teacher. I came into this class thinking I could not teach anything and being very hesitant to try, but now I feel more comfortable and confident in my abilities as a teacher ."
