Tell us why you became a teacher

I went into teaching to impact students in becoming successful, to believe in themselves, and to trust in becoming a leader.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Recently, I had a 7th grader told me that it was impossible for him to get a good grade, and I told him that if he follow my guidance he will be able to get that A or B. He trust the system and he got that A.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Have supplies for my classes, pay some debts and invest the rest.
