At the end of a crazy school day, there is always rewarding moments to look back on that make the challenges of teaching seem so mediocre.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I love teaching and learning from my students. Children are remarkable little humans with amazing creativity, imagination, humor, cuteness and uniqueness. I do not have my own children so I consider any child I teach a part of my forever family in spirit.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have had many this year in a pre-kindergarten classroom. We have some of the most amazing room parents and they take care of my co-teacher and I. The parents hosted the most memorable birthday parties for us. One aspect of the party I loved is that each student was given a rose and they stood in line, one by one and said something nice about us and then put their rose in a vase to build a bouquet. We create a classroom with love, respect, bravery, kindness, confidence and responsibility!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Go on a trip to Hawaii and put the rest towards debt. Yeah, I love Hawaii that much! The Aulani Disney Resort is the best!!
