I love teaching because of the satisfaction of seeing “the lightbulb” turn on when the student has an understanding of what is being taught.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of my desire to help kids achieve their full potential. It is so important that we pass along knowledge to the next generation. When the right influence is in a child’s life the heights that child can reach are immeasurable.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would bless the struggling students in my community. There are so many that have so little.
