I became a teacher to make an impact on kids lives in a positive way. I also wanted to reach and teach kids things that I feel are beneficial to know as a kid that weren't necessarily taught to me.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThe most memorable teaching experience was having a student who was about to drop out of high school before he took my business class; and once he joined the class ended being an A student, highest grade in the class, and now he’s a successful business owner.
