Learn MoreI became a teacher to spend more time with my children. I stayed a teacher to help other children have a chance at feeling the change that being acknowledged and cared for can bring in someone’s life.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience happened on a student trip to Thailand. All of my students were working very hard at a primary school and they were using Google Translate to be able to talk to the children, and when they realized that they could play music and everyone could dance, they said that happiness doesn’t need words.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would definitely help more students travel, and take my daughter on a vacation when she graduates high school!
