Being able to encourage students to try their best and care about themselves has been the proudest moment for me. Teachers truly do it all for their students.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThere are too many to choose from, but one that sticks out is when I took about 20 students to a local speech and debate tournament. Witnessing each and every single student excel through speech was incredibly moving. Seeing how much their confidence grew after this event, made me realize I was exactly where I needed to be.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to put a down payment on a house for my family. Nowadays, homes are incredibly expensive and would allow us to compete in today's economy for a home.
