Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher during a time when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. My aunt is who inspired me to try out the education field and I have been it for 22 years now.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when the students in my class surprised me for my birthday. They said because I cared so much they wanted to make my day just as special.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would make sure to take care of what is needed for me financially and give back to the community that held me down in my beginning stages of teaching.
