I had the opportunity to coach junior high basketball and realized how great it was to help children achieve their goals. I also am able to be 3rd generation educator!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceIt was probably almost 13 years ago and I was pregnant with my youngest child. The school went under a lock down. I remember putting all of my high school students in a dark corner of my room and I stood between them and the door with a pair of scissors in my hand. The students asked what I was doing. I told them it was my job to protect them. And they all more concerned with protecting me since I was pregnant. We all had to evacuate the building and left safely.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it as a down payment to build a new house for my family. We currently have a family of 5 that live in a house that is less than 900 square feet. We can't afford to build right now.
