Teaching is the most rewarding job where every single day I come into work I have the opportunity to change the life of someone else.

From a very young age, I have always gravitated towards a caretaker/teacher role, loving any opportunity to feel that I could help someone else, be that on the playground at the parks, during my brother's sports practices/game, or even at play dates with friends. I have always had a caretaker instinct in me. Teaching has felt like the natural course for my life, as I have always felt drawn to the idea of being able to shape and touch the lifes of others each and every day.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was during a social studies project. The students in my class were tasked with researching a community worker to present as a project. They needed to do research and create visuals to explain the importance of their role in each community. One of my 3rd graders decided to choose me and presented on how much of a difference I make and what I have already helped her through this year. She also came in a jean jacket outfit to dress like me for the day!
What would you do with the $25,000?With the $25,000 I would use some of the money to have a new experience and go somewhere I have never seen, with my husband. I would also use the money to make renovations on a new home we are currently in the long process of purchasing and finalizing.
