Learn MoreI became a teacher because I knew I loved children and started by working with kids in a sports capacity. I expanded my opportunities and worked summer camps. I found a place that I loved to be at and they also loved my work ethic and kept me on board and offered me a job. I never left and continue to work there 15 years later. Everyday when I walk into the building, I’m excited to see what the day has in store and love to be present in the classroom with the children.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy favorite teaching experiences are when I receive emails from the parents telling me how excited their kids are to come to school. How they can see the changes of their child at home, how they are developing and credit it to my hard work. It truly makes me feel like the time and love I pour into the children actually makes an impact.
What would you do with the $25,000?Well, it’s safe to say that I am always buying new materials and things to bring into the classroom to keep the joy and spark of learning alive. This money could pay off some debt so I can continue to supply my classroom with materials, I truly enjoy spending my money back into the classroom
