Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have many memorable experiences. However, I always enjoy watching students get excited about something they’re learning. Watching my students look at their plants every morning to see changes, caring for butterflies and even teaching them how to do a crossword. The light and excitement in such a pure form is always memorable.
What would you do with the $25,000?As a teacher, some of it would definitely go back into the classroom. I’d like to be able to use it to better my mental health- whether that be to travel, take more health wellness classes, or go back to school and finish my TESOL degree like I want to.
