Teaching is so important to me because I really believe that we, as teachers, have everything to do with what happens in our world everyday.

My grandma, my uncle, and his daughter (my cousin) are all teachers, but my mom is terrible at it! I actually never thought about it until COVID hit and we were all under quarantine. I had 2 young boys at the time as a single mom so I was also an instant teacher via home schooling, like it or not. As it turned out, I really enjoyed it.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy best memory so far teaching is not even one from in the classroom. And even now I haven't been teaching very long compared to probably anyone else in this contest. But what meant the most to me, and is a go to on a bad hair day, was a day during COVID quarantine helping one of my sons with a math problem, and it finally just clicked. He understood. Not just got the right answer - HE GOT IT. Yeah. I did that.
What would you do with the $25,000?My brother passed away in September and we were very close. He was very gifted. I think I would use some to honor him in some way, aa music or art scholarship maybe or just a memorial place for people to go for inspiration. He would have liked that.
