Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I have a passion for the little ones. All I want to do is be the one to make a change. I been teaching for 14years and each year I learn something new to teach them

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I teach prek and everyday is memorable for me. I feel like last year was my best year not only did my kids leave reading and writing but I taught them different languages. The parents became family because I always made sure to have a group activity every month. We think teaching is just about the children but it’s about the parents too

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I was to win the 25,000 I would either put it towards the school I want to open or make sure my students have everything they need for kindergarten.
