I love children wholeheartedly. And if I’m going to give any time of my life it will be to the future generation, one child at a time.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWhen I was able to help a student in my high school class. She had severe depression and almost committed suicide. She said that because of me, and knowing she would see me everyday kept her from taking her own life.
What would you do with the $25,000?Pay my bills as a single mother of four, and hopefully have a down payment for a home.
