Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I had a horrible experience in 3rd grade. My teacher made me feel incapable, unintelligent and so very small. I had to stay in from recess most every day to redo math problems or to copy sentences and drawings from textbooks. I knew that I wanted to teach to ensure that no students under my care would ever feel that way.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have had the blessing to travel internationally with students and watch them aim to communicate in Spanish. This always makes my heart sing. Seeing them use the skills I have instilled in them is simply beautiful and heartwarming.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have a mountain of debts to pay off and I would love to take a family vacation. I am also hoping to use some of the funds to pay for more professional development as a Spanish teacher.
