Tell us why you became a teacher

As a child I came to this country and the lack of the English language made it difficult for me as a child a caring teacher helped me to overcome my difficulties and as result I wanted to become a teacher. In the field I became aware of the challenges that migrantchildren face especially children with learning difficulties and decided to become an early childhood educator. As en early childhood educator since 1994, Is veryrewarding to see that we support high risk children succeed educationally.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have many memorable experiences when the child once a preschooler says “thank you for believing in me”

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would obtain more teaching materials to help children succeed in my classroom. Help those who lack necessary materials to assists them at home and form a parents and child collaboration. I Keep in mind that a parents are children first teachers.
