Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of a precious 6 th grade teacher. She made me love school. She would read to us ; after lunch each day. It was the best memory; of that year. She also allowed me to become her teacher helper the very next year. I knew then that I wanted to become a teacher.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One year; I was able to help an EL student learn the language and also help with “ bringing them out of their shell”. It was so rewarding.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give back to my students who are not financially stable; able to attend a summer camp or have an experience that they would like to have.
