I love seeing children excited to learn new things, I love how their faces lights up when they get something done by themselves.

In high school I had no idea what I wanted to do with my career but I knew I wanted to work with children. My last year in high school I took dual enrollment and took one class for Early Childhood Education. Every year my high school would offer summer jobs and every year I take them up on the offer and work. One summer I was placed at a daycare and one of the teachers asked me about teaching and it began from there.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy first year being Lead I didn’t experienced a lot of support. I received a lot of “You look young, you look like one of the students” . So I put my head high and started speaking, dressing , and conducting myself as a “Lead”. Growing into my professional self was beautiful to see.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’m currently experiencing eviction(can send proof). Honestly purchase a home for me or pay off my car so I’m no longer going from paycheck to paycheck.
