I think it had to do with my own experiences.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Ms. Rinaldi was my English teacher in middle school. She had us do a 3-D project on mythology and it really opened up my mind. I think that was a turning point for me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay some bills and take my children on a vacation.
