Tell us why you became a teacher

I cannot pinpoint becoming a teacher to one specific idea or event. I remember playing school as a child, making my sisters sit through class and take tests that were way too difficult for them. As I got older, I realized that I enjoy working with children, and I find that they teach me just as much as I teach them.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable teaching experiences was when a student came to me saying they never liked Social Studies, but now it's their favorite subject. Those kinds of moments really stand out to me, as they show how a little help can make a big difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to pay off my student loans.
