Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceEvery moment is valuable, but a favorite memory is when my students recreate the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade each year.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have two sons. One is college junior and the other will head off to college in the fall. I would be so happy to help them pay for their education! Also, our furnace broke recently and needs replaced. We have to wait until we save enough money to cover the cost. In Illinois, it’s cold.
