Tell us why you became a teacher

My grandma was a teacher. She lost her leg and kept teaching for 9 years until she retired. I followed in her wheel ruts to make her proud.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had my wife’s great grandfather come to our class and talk one and one with the students and me about WWII and how he received his Purple Heart.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would catch up on bills and help to pay for a masters program I am trying to enroll into.
