I'm new to teaching. It's my first year, tho I've watched my mom do it for 20 years. I love it because I love helping kids learn. Just do.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I saw my mom teach for years. She made a family for herself and was a pillar of her community. I also have seen how much good she was able to do from her position. I want to do that too.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I read to an illiterate 5th grader every day trying to get his reading level up. I got him from a first grade level to a third that year. He worked really hard and I remember feeling so proud of him.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off my student loans! Or a down payment on a house lol!
