Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I believe education can change lives. As a mom, I see firsthand how patience, love, and guidance help children grow. I want to make a difference in the lives of my students, especially those who need extra support. Teaching isn’t just a job for me—it’s my passion and my purpose. I love seeing my students learn, grow, and realize their potential. Being in the classroom allows me to inspire, uplift, and help shape the future, one child at a time.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I win the $25K, I’ll invest in my passion for education by supporting teen moms transitioning into college, enhancing my classroom resources, and securing a brighter future for my kids. This isn’t just for me—it’s for the students and families I serve!
