Teaching high school scholars allows me to provide a strong support system to guide them through some tough years, something I wish I had!

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 experienceI 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!
