I wanted to change the world

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I currently work at a low income community school. I had a young girl who didn’t believe in herself. I fought for her to learn and pass third grade. Even when she didn’t believe in herself throughout the year. She ended up passing her state tests. I begged my principal to put her in a class that would allow her to excel. I saw her recently and told me she scored above grade level after that. I was so happy that started in my room.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my debt that I created to become a teacher, so that I can continue to be one!
