Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always wanted to teach. As a little girl I used to play school. I enjoyed acting like I was teaching my students and planning lessons.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was when I was able to watch students I taught in fourth grade walk across the stage to accept their high school diploma.

What would you do with the $25,000?

To be honest one of the first things I would do is pay for the lunch debt of students in my school. I would then like to donate to the clothes closet and pantry at my school as well.
