Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students by positively supporting them throughout their educational journey. School is more than just academics, it is a place where young people grow, struggle, discover who they are, and begin to understand their potential. I felt called to be part of that process, not only to teach content, but to be a steady, encouraging presence in their lives.

Some of my most memorable moments of teaching come from watching students find a love for learning or becoming involved in school.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, it is close to the end of the school year and busy, so I haven't even thought about what I would do with the $25,000.
