I became a teacher after entering my niche field of special education because I fell in love with the beautifully authentic students that I serve and the creativity and effort required to build trusting and meaningful relationships with them and their families.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceYears ago, as a paraprofessional, I sat beside a student reading The Rainbow Fish. The pages shimmered in the light. He paused, studied the picture, and asked, “Ashee, what colors?” In that simple question, I saw the world through his eyes — reflective, curious, beautifully unique. I wasn’t just teaching him to read; he was teaching me to see. In that moment, I knew I wanted to devote my life to being part of that extraordinary perspective.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off my student loans.
