I'm more comfortable in my classroom with my students than I am at home most days.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I like to help people. I have a bit of an ability to connect with the students and build rapport.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Other than convocations where I got to meet celebrities or simulate students dieing in drug/alcohol related accidents or the chance to cheer on my students in their sports, honestly, it's self the students graduate that gave up on school and have turned their attitudes around and get to walk down the stage and get their diplomas. For some, this will be the highest level of education they'll go for. And it makes a difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay bills. I wish I could do something more impressive. But since my mother died, I had to move in with my disabled sister to help her out. Sometimes, these things are expensive. So being able to take some of the stress off would be awesome.
