Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because that’s what I always said I wanted to be when I grew up. I loved school and visiting our free library in my small town, where reading became my passion!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Which one?? I think the most memorable is when we raised butterflies from caterpillars and when we went outside to release them, a big wind came and a few flew out and got crushed by the net. I tried to hide them!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would treat myself to something special and put the rest aside for necessities! Retirement in less than ten years, and every extra penny counts!!
