Learn MoreI first became a teacher because I thought it would be nice to have summers off. But through my teacher education courses, I realized I was becoming a teacher to be able to make a positive impact on the future of our country.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceIn 2024, I was reading Matilda from Ronald Dahl with my students. We had just read a chapter about Ms. Trunchble swinging a girl by her pigtails. One of my students raised her hand to ask me a question. Instead of saying Mrs. Thimmes, she called me Ms. Trunchble instead. The class erupted with laughter, including me.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay down my student debt. The $25,000 wouldn’t completely pay it off, however it would make a sizable debt and take some of the stress of the monthly payments off my shoulders.
