Tell us why you became a teacher

Throughout high school I felt as though my teachers wrote me off and did not care about me as a person. I wanted to change that.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I worked in a residential setting for five years and while there I had a student who was argumentative and aggressive. In our conversation I told him that I cared about him and his face lit up. Moving forward, he did his best in school and made everyone proud.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My continued educational experience has racked up many student loans so, I would love to pay them down!.. I might also take my 3 year old on a mini-vacation!
