Learn MoreTeaching has always been my calling. I became a teacher because I love seeing the growth of young ones. I love connecting with them and being a role model that some don’t have the privilege of getting. Teacher doesn’t always just mean a teacher. I’m a mentor, I’m a mom, I’m a counselor, I’m a friend, and so much more. I became a teacher to spark that bit of curiosity, to increase those soft skills that start early. I am a teacher because I am here to inspire, to motivate, and to encourage.

What would you do with the $25,000?I would save half to provide my children a savings for their future. Use some for student loans then on a forever home for my family.
