Tell us why you became a teacher

Because I wanted every child to feel special and believe in themselves. I didn’t have that as a child in school. I wanted to teach fast learners to “pause” so that their friends would have a chance to interject or not feel they are not as smart as those fast answering friends around them..

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Having a student come to class not speaking English, and being successful using translation app, helping the student feel special and comfortable knowing he was just as important to talk with and teach as any other child.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay my debt down.
