Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I know that so children don’t get the extra support that they need and I want to the special person that they can depend on.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is there was a little boy that came to our school and he always cried didn’t want to go to class so one day I came in early and I change the routine instead of the children sitting around playing with toys I started singing a song from the CD player Jump song and when the little boy came into the classroom he was crying then he saw that we was singing and jumping to the song I went to him and said do you want to come have funny with us and he took my hand

What would you do with the $25,000?

First I will find me a comfortable place to live then I would pay off some of my debt then take a vacation with my grand children.
