Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I never had the best time in school. I, honestly, just wanted to make students feel accepted, safe and loved no matter where they came from, no matter how they how they felt that day and no matter how much baggage they had. They all deserved to feel loved and respected.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

There is no moment like the moment when something “clicks” with a student. I moved to PreK this year and there have been so many amazing moments when students have that “a-ha moment” and start understanding the concepts you’ve been teaching.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000 I would put more money into my classroom - it really is difficult with a low budget and limited resources to make a classroom what you want and what students need! I would also put money away for some future medical needs that I have; it would make everything for my family so much easier!
