Brandi Hardin

I love teaching because I get to help my students learn to love reading. I like to see the excitement on their faces when they are learning.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to be able to encourage and help my students succeed in all that they do.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

There are so many but one of the best memories was helping a student whose house had burned. Seeing the smile on his face when he got some of his lost items replaced. Teaching is not only about academics but also about helping students with social and emotional challenges. Our school is big on helping our families out and we do a lot at Christmas.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Of course I would invest in my classroom.
