I have always love children and animals, but when I began volunteering in my college Sign Language teacher's classroom...I was hooked! I could see the joy in students as they unlocked little keys to learning and that is a very rewarding outcome. Since then, I have spent decades trying to make learning as fun and exciting as possible for all my students.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceIt is hard to choose just 1 favorite after my long teaching career. I love helping students, who to others may seem to hard or unlovable to teach. I am good at making connections, meeting their needs and gaining their trust. Unlocking their mysteries, so they can lear and grow is by far my most memorable accomplishment.
What would you do with the $25,000?I long to travel and learn about other customs, cultures, and people. I feel that by expanding my own global perspective, I can then help my students grow their knowledge and curiosity too!
