Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because it's my purpose, and Gods calling. After many years of praying asking God what he wanted me to do, and working in corporate America not being fulfilled he lead me to teaching special needs.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment was when I was finally able to get a student to trust me, and not go into behaviors. The look she gave me when she realized I understood her, and she was in a safe place.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest it in a special needs program, that supports students with autism, and other special needs.
