I became a teacher because I love kids!!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment is when I was teaching at xoxos located in Mobile, Alabama. I had a autistic kid, when I arrived for my first day. The present teacher ALWAYS had him in a high chair, he wasn't able to get out because she says he don't know how to act. Well, 2 months working with him, engaging, praising and loving on him! He was able to join his classmates during circle time, he was able to sit at the table as well as walk in a line!!!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will take the $25,000 in invest in my home learning center.
