Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of my own children. They encouraged me to go back to school and finish my degree and to become a teacher.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The school I was at was closing and the students were moving to a new school. I was hired at the new school and was able to help the children adapt to their new environment.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take my sister to Hawaii since she lived there 45 years ago and wants to go back and see how things have changed.
