Teaching elementary gives me, a 29 year old girl, purpose. Every student that I have is my student for life.

Helping people has always been my thing. I think when I decided to become a teacher it was because I had memorable teachers growing up and I understood how important they were. I wanted to serve as that for as many students as I could.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceAs a teacher, it’s one of my effortless jobs to get to really know my kids interests inside and outside of school. However, it always blows me away when they remember things about me. I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan and throughout all 5 years of teaching, my students have taken that into huge consideration. I have friendship bracelets from so many students throughout the years, it’s truly something special.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have some student loan debt left that I would love to take care of
