Mildred Mia Weston

I'm amazed whenever a light bulb comes on in a child's mind who said, "I can't do it!" When they get the correct answer, my heart flutters!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I fell in love with my 2nd and 3rd Grade Teachers. They looked like me and challenged me to work hard and be greater than I was! Me? A real Teacher!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

At a store, a very nice looking young man walked up to me. He said, "I knew that was you with that red hair! Hey, Ms. Weston!" I was blessed to remember him and his name. He was one of my faves! As we were talking, he noticed the time. He said, "I got to go. I am at work. " The lesson: I taught my Scholars to not let anyone stop them from working! I told him that I was very proud of him. We both were smiling big time!

What would you do with the $25,000?

First, I would thank God!!! Secondly, I would pay my tithes. Thirdly, I need some work done on my mouth. Fourthly, I would get my truck repaired. Finally, I would take my favorite Scholars (that I can contact 😇) for a nice dinner and catch up! I would invest the rest.
