Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because there were a lack of male role models and teachers in my community. Also I saw the need to mentor and teach the students as well.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Most memorable experience was when one of my student selected me out of all her teachers as the one who made the greatest impact on her life and also I won teacher of the year last year.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Share it with all of my students that I currently teach and help the less fortunate.
