Tell us why you became a teacher

I worked in the corporate world for many years but I felt it wasn’t making a difference in the world. I went back to school in the evening for a second degree and began teaching. Though the money isn’t as good, the benefits of making a true difference to students is worth it.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have been teaching for 17 years. I have had the privilege to teach my older son, my niece, and two nephews. I love going to work everyday.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take my family on a vacation with part of the money and get my new younger son, our new driver, a car.
