I love teaching because I am teaching children. Someday they will be leaders. I believe my special education students can achieve anything.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I love learning and I wanted to give back to a system that gave so much to me. I also love watching others get excited about learning.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I was a regular education teacher for ten years and last school year I decided to be a special education teacher. This year I implemented the PASS program in my school and even seen some of students make huge improvements in their education and being able to manage their emotions.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would spend it on classroom supplies and possibly consider getting my Masters in special education.
