I love teaching because every day is an adventure. No day is ever the same. The students take up as much room on my phone as my own children

It’s funny because everyone always told me I should be a teacher because I was so good with kids. So my high school rebellion was becoming a candy stripper. But I was too sensitive for that job. I started my own babysitting business when I was 12 and it was easy and came very natural and I’ve loved working with kids ever since.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI think now that I’ve been teaching for 20 years when the students remember you from in high school and invite you to things and come back. Those are really memorable teaching moments because you know you made a difference. You know they understood that teachers were there for them.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off a few loans. And then get ready to send my oldest son to college.
