Many people would never even think about teaching high schoolers, but at 31, Acord feels a special draw towards them.

Even though she has well-prepared lessons, teaching isn't all that Ms. Acord is involved in. "My students would tell you that when I'm not teaching all I do is watch documentaries and read, which is not really real-ly true," Acord continued. She cooks for a catering company called Arlington House Catering, as her second sec-ond job.
