Angela Carnicelli

I chose to become a teacher because I have a passion for helping others learn and grow. Teaching offers me the opportunity to inspire students, ignite their curiosity, and shape their future. Teaching is way to make a meaningful impact in my community, fostering a love of knowledge and critical thinking skills in young minds. The profession provides a chance for lifelong learning, as I am able to continually engage with new ideas and concepts while collaborating with other like minded leaders.

My most memorable teaching experience involved working closely with a special education student diagnosed with autism. Throughout the year, I had the incredible opportunity to witness her remarkable progress & development. It was truly rewarding to see her achieve various milestones, which ultimately led to her declassification from SPED services. This experience not only highlighted her hard work & determination but also reinforced my belief in the potential of every student to grow & succeed.

If I were to win $25,000, I would allocate a portion of that money towards my upcoming wedding, ensuring that this special day is memorable. I would set aside funds for my son's future college tuition, helping to secure his educational journey and providing him with opportunities for success. I believe in giving back to others, so I would contribute a portion of the winnings to my school’s parent/teacher partnership program, supporting the collaborative efforts to benefit my school community.
