Tell us why you became a teacher

I always played school as a little girl and knew this was what I was going to be. My 3rd and 5th grade teachers inspired me. I am still in touch with them to this day.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had a student who was non verbal, no social skills, he wasn’t potty trained, and by June he was doing all the above! He said I love you when he graduated and moved up to kindergarten! It melted my heart!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am a single mom & my daughter is going to nursing school we need all the support and help for her future we can get.
