Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to become a teacher because I love helping people. And becoming a teacher is one step closer to helping our children reach their goals in life. I am the start to their future. Seeing the love and joy they have on their faces will never change how it feels my heart.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My memorable teacher moment would be this year. One of my students is neurodivergent she did not speak much in other classrooms. Now that she’s with me many people have noticed that her speech has improved so much. She’s talking more and interacting with other children.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I personally would pay my bills off, pay my student bill off so I can return to school to finish my bachelors degree. I would also like to buy a reliable car.
