March 2025: Red Bench Dialogue Recap: A Courageous Conversation at ACC, TLED Blog
March 2025: Service-Learning Student Serves as Host for a Spring 2025 Bat Chat on the topic of “Ambition Without Exhaustion: Balance vs. Rhythm”! Zoila Watson, a student in Prof. Becky Villarreal’s service-learning Composition class.
Description from ACC Office of Student Life website: “High-achieving students often struggle with burnout and perfectionism, constantly chasing success while trying to maintain balance. But what if balance isn’t the answer? Zoila challenged the balance myth and introduced a rhythm-based approach to sustaining ambition without exhaustion. Participants learned how to break free from toxic hustle culture, manage perfectionism, and develop sustainable habits that support achievement and well-being so you can keep striving without sacrificing yourself.”
What is Service-Learning?
Service-Learning is a form of experiential learning that integrates community service into the curricular objectives of an academic course. You work directly with local organizations to benefit their cause while gaining a better understanding of how the content you learn at ACC can be used to generate real-world change.
