Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted a meaningful career and life . The energy , talents , pure hearts and confidence that the students bring daily are invaluable. I also believe a very strong foundation of knowledge is a very key to success.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Hard to choose , but I will say a Kindergartner that I held back and it was a difficult decision. His mother and I continued to stay in touch over the years and she thanked and praised me for suggesting it . It was the best thibn for him and he is a very successful adult.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Buy a new computer, mine just died . Take my nieces and nephews on a trip . They are my life . Help all my teacher friends who need something.
