I teach the kids to write their name. In the moment any child learns something and gains that spark of confidence. That's why.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I had always wanted to teach but grew up without the money for college. I had other careers until I decided I needed to pursue my dream of teaching no matter the cost.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

It is always when a child writes their name for the first time.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would fix up our home. My husband and I own a nice, quaint home that needs a little TLC. I would also take a nice road trip with my wonderful husband.
