Tell us why you became a teacher

I have a strong desire to help shape the lives of my students. I have many fond memories from my own teachers from helping bottle feed puppies to making dinosaur stew to helping me w/ a bully situation. I want my students to always know that I love them while they are in my classroom and I will continue to love them and cheer them on well after they have moved on.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

This is a hard one to answer. I’ve had many memorable teaching experiences. I’m going to go with a more recent one. A student that comes from a hard background that tends to be mischievous, class clown type, low achieving, etc. got up one day after a lesson and came to me. He gave me a huge hug and said, “I love you, Mrs. Hubble”. I had to hold back tears. This child doesn’t come by those words easy & now he tells me these words almost daily.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would celebrate in a fun way with my students. I’d pay off debt & take an incredible vacation w/ my kids and grandkids. Hopefully, put some money into savings.
