I became a teacher because I believe it runs in my blood. Both my parents were educators. I grew up spending time in my mom’s classroom and just developed a love of making a difference in young lives.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience is when the students come back to visit me. I teach elementary so when they come back as a high school student they look a little different but I can still see that sweet smile from first grade. It makes my heart smile that they still remember their first grade teacher and want to see me.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25,000 I would probably take my family on a trip. I dedicate myself to school from August to May. It would be nice to relax and give all of me to my family.
