Learn MoreI became a special education teacher because I want to make a difference in the lives of students. In my teens, I had an interaction with a child that had a traumatic brain injury and enjoyed engaging with him. Every student is unique and has wonderful qualities to share with those around them. Some students just need more support to overcome their personal barriers and grow to their fullest potential.

What would you do with the $25,000?I would use some of the money to go towards purchasing a house for my family. It’s a dream of mine to own a home. I would also donate some money to organizations that support the families of people with significant disabilities.
