Mary

Tell us why you became a teacher

I am becoming a teacher so that I can help all my ESE students and to help other students succeed with their education when I was younger I didn’t have anyone but my one teacher that helped me get through high school and help me get through what I needed to graduate and she never looked down on me so I always told myself that I wanted to do this for other students

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience right now is when I have this one ESE student and he was always upset always had a lot of issues and I sat with him, and I talked with him every day and even though he could get mad at me, I still sat with him and told him that there is someone here for him no matter what no matter what he says no matter how his behavior is it’s Mary always be here sooner or later. He grew a bond with me and now he is working and doing his work great

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would save this money and put a down payment on a house that I’ve always wanted and some of the money I would buy some more things for my classroom and put a little aside for my kids to have a little vacation
