Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher so that I could help children grow, I enjoy being a Montessori teacher. I love seeing the joy and excitement on my students faces when they achieve something great.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Last year we did a science experiment when we maybe explosive rainbows for St.Patrick's day. When the color mixtures went up in the cylinders. My students faces were just in awe.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would help underprivileged kids get an education. I know $25,000 is not a lot of money but it would at least help with text books and part of their education.
