Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because for the past 13 years I've worked as a para in a special education behavior classroom and loved it! I decided I wanted to be the special education teacher now and help my students reach their goals along with planning the activities that helped them reach their accomplishments.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I am working with a challenging student that has a lot of behaviors. This student has worked through a lot of them and been successful in completing work tasks and now being able to go out to general education classes! Helping and watching this goal be accomplished has been amazing!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off some bills and then put the rest towards a newer SUV since mine is breaking and not reliable anymore.
