Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I love working with small children! Helping a child learn is the greatest treasure.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable teaching experience was whe I had an English language learner, and he was struggling with spelling. I learned to sound out the letters for him and he started passing his spelling. You should have seen his face glow and the twinkle In his eyes and his smile!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my student loans and use the rest for my classroom!
