Learn MoreI became a teacher to teach students how to enjoy learning and hopefully instill a desire to learn more.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have been blessed to have many memorable teaching experiences. The bulletin boards next to my desk are covered with pictures students have given me of themselves, cards, notes, and drawings from students. Most memorable is when a student who has been struggling, finally succeeds one day. The smile on their face, how they sit up taller, answer more questions, and the increase in their motivation and self-confidence is the greatest thing to witness.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 as a down-payment to finally buy a house.
