Chelsea

I had fantastic teachers in elementary school and knew I wanted to be a teacher. I teach Pre-K and it’s amazing to see them learn and grow.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I love working with children and being a part of their learning journey. They spend a lot of time with their teachers in school and I enjoy being with them everyday.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I always love when past students see me and say hello! It makes me happy. It’s also memorable when parents reach out about how much their child loves coming to school and how they see the progress they’ve made.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My fiancé and I would buy a house. We are currently renting and although it’s great and I’m grateful for what we have, we would love to buy a house and start our family. We’re getting married next year and would love to become parents soon after that. While I love being a teacher, my salary makes it tough. We would also use the money to pay off student loans.
