Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help students with special needs. I wanted to assist them in not only making academic progress, but social and emotional progress as well.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is teaching my one student with autism to initiate conversations and play with his peers. It seems like a simple task but it it took a lot of consistent prompting. This will help him for the rest of his life.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put the money towards my children’s college fund because a higher education is the best gift I can give them.
