Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I had a really amazing teacher growing up who inspired me to become the person I am today.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was directing a school play where 46 students participated with acting and production. The entire school helped create the set. It was amazing.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to help me pay off my student debt loans. This would majorly shift my life in a positive direction to where money isn’t as big of a burden as it is currently.
