Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I had a teacher who believed in me and helped me succeed in school. I want to be that for the students I teach.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment in teaching is seeing children who struggled with reading find a topic they liked to learn about and seeing them reading about that topic and understanding the information.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off the small amount of credit card debt I have and then divide the rest between my savings and some for the summer while I’m off so I can enjoy the time with my family.
