I fell in love with teaching when I was in 5th grade. I fell in love with being able to enrich kids in lifelong skills every day.

I became a teacher because I wanted to be the person that I needed growing up: the listener, the leader, the advocate.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a student who was very difficult. No other teacher could get through to him. It took a few months, but I had this student doing all of his work, making A's too, not getting into fights, and fell in love with school again.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would like to set aside some money to start a scholarship for kids that don't have the means to go to college. I would donate some to cancer research in honor of my grandmother. Give my mother a proper headstone.
