Learn MoreI became a teacher because I knew I had a passion for working with children. My dad encouraged me to go into teaching and it was the perfect fit. I know that the education of our students holds the future of our world. I feel blessed to be a small part of it.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI wish I could narrow it down to my most memorable moment teaching, but honestly every day is a memorable experience. While I love seeing a child finally understand a new concept for the first time, the part that sticks out to me is watching my students learn in an environment that they feel comfortable in. I love knowing my students feel comfortable asking questions and getting things wrong. That is the best experience!
What would you do with the $25,000?I have been wanting to expand my knowledge and go back to college to get my masters in educational leadership. I would love to one day move to a position where I can support other teachers in giving children the education they deserve, in a school that supports all of our children’s needs.
