Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teacher moment was when I was teaching first grade. When my student was able to read for the first time a short story, it not only brought joy to me but him as well. To see how proud he was for himself was really special.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won 25,000 dollars I would try to help students in need. There are so many students whose families struggle financially.
