Learn MoreI HATED school growing up. I wanted to be the teacher that I never had.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceEach year my class learns about Sadako Sasaki and the they make 1,000 paper cranes (senbazuru). We then give it away to someone who is not well, with a wish that they get better. When I run into these families years later and they tell me they still have them, or when the students tell me they still make them over a decade later, it warms my heart.
What would you do with the $25,000?Get my teeth fixed.
