I love teaching because it is a job that truly matters. I come to work every day to be someone's hero. To encourage, persuade, and educate.

Learn MoreI became a teacher so that I could ensure every child is heard, every child feels that someone is there to support them, and so that my job was fulfilling.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when I had a student come in as an English language learner. They came in speaking barely any English and finished the year with a 200% increase in fluency and comprehension.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put the 25k towards my family. I have a husband and a 1 year old daughter. Being in the teaching field, my salary is barely livable in today’s society. I love teaching but we are barely scraping by. The 25k would be used towards bills, investing in my daughter’s future, and helping towards my student loan debt.
