Learn MoreI became a teacher because I felt I could impact lives in a positive way. I have had so many opportunities in the 28 years I've been teaching to be the light in someone's dark time. It's been an honor.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when I saw one of my students cry after finishing her first braille chapter book. She was so proud of what she had accomplished. I was the only teacher she ever had for braille, so I felt the pride and sense of accomplishment with her.
What would you do with the $25,000?I am a founding member and secretary of a non-profit for underprivileged children. This money would be enough to build one more home for our orphanage.
