Learn MoreI became a teacher because my grandmother was a lifelong educator. Her students approach my parents and I to this day to talk about what an impact she made on their lives and that is what I want to do for this generation.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience would be reading off the ServSafe Manager Exam results to my students who passed their certification after not being successful the first time and watching how excited and proud of themselves they were.
What would you do with the $25,000?With $25,000 I would pay for my graduate school bill. I am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Education, do something really nice for my parents, and put the rest of the money back into my classroom for my students.
