First, I became a teacher because I love children. I have always enjoyed learning, too. I am creative and energetic, so when I put all of these positive attitudes together, teaching was the best fit career choice for me.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThis is tough to limit it to 1 or the most memorable moment, but I guess it would be the time I received and welcomed an ESL student with 0 to minimum English understanding. I started with the alphabet and worked his way to words and sentences. It was an amazing experience to watch him grow and learn literally right in front of me. By far the most rewarding experience!
What would you do with the $25,000?I have been trying to help my daughters pay their school-college-loans, so I would like to take this money and add to my contribution in assisting them.
