I drew a picture when I was 6. Not I “wantl to be a teacher but “I WILL” be a teacher. Ever since then I have found myself always teaching someone something. It truely is my life.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI would like to say there is one memorable moment but I would have to say there is one every day. It might be a child who is struggling with a goal making just a tiny bit of progress or giving a child the love they need to make them confident enough to try once that day.
What would you do with the $25,000?Most of the money I make is put back into my classroom. So I would take part of this to enrich my small special education preschool staff and show them that I appreciate them and their efforts in the classroom do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Then I would like to show my family I appreciate them by taking them finally on a well deserved vacation. I work every ESY so being able to spend a week doing something with my own children at home would mean the world to me.
