I love being able to be that catalyst for a student to make that connection of what we are learning in my FCS classes to the real world.

I had so many teachers that influenced my life for the better and believed in me when I didn’t. I wanted to be that same influence to my students.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI make it an effort to write letters to my graduating seniors and most of the time, nothing ever comes from it but I have had students years later email me thanking me for the letter and for making such an impact on their lives while as a student in my classroom. It’s always amazing to hear from the students after graduation and know I made an influence on them just like my teachers did on me.
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly, most would go into savings but a lot would be used to put a down payment towards buying a home for my family.
