Tell us why you became a teacher

I was a technician for 25 years then open my own automotive business but then I got into real estate till that business dropped so i started doing foster care and then substituting and then they asked me if I wanted to teach full Time

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Watching a really shy female student getting excited when she changed her own tire something simple but a huge accomplishment for her

What would you do with the $25,000?

If the money was for me i would fix my teeth If for the students would use it for more equipment and field trips Maybe even to Detroit Michigan and visit some automotive factories
