Learn MoreI honestly didn't want to be a teacher, I wanted to be on the water with Dr. Ballard looking for shipwrecks. While I was in college. I took education courses and realized that working with kids is where I should be.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a young man, who happened to be Muslum. When the anniversary of 911 came around, he was worried that the other kids would hate him. At recess he was by himself, as I was headed out to talk to him, another young man walked over and put his arm around him. Made me cry.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would add more books to the classroom libraries at my site. I would love to purchase some grade level novel book sets. With whatever is left over, I may help my son pay off thr braces for my grandson.
