Tell us why you became a teacher

Because I truly wanted to impact the lives of the generations coming up behind me. I can take part in changing the life of a student by giving them the necessary tools to run with their future.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment was when one of my students noticed I had a bad day, he wrote me a letter and gave me a gift, In his letter, he said of his own will, “Thank you for taking the time to impact me.” That’s why I teach - not to be the best, instead to touch the hearts and lives of people.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely use some to improve my classroom. Other ways I would use the money - I would donate to my church, buy gifts for my sister’s wedding, and probably go to Disney World.
