I like to teach the kids to be independent so they can take care of themselves! I really enjoy seeing them bloom into a garden.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because both parents died and I wanted a classroom of learning children to fill the whole in my heart which they do!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment was when a student who's has autism started to grow. He made friends made jokes all because of the culture we have in our classroom we really show love when we teach.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off some bills and start some money im the bank to have in case of an emergency. I would buy pizza for my students.
