Tell us why you became a teacher

I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. As a child, I would play “school” all the time, and that passion stayed with me as I got older. I love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and build confidence. Seeing their progress makes teaching such a rewarding career.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to further improve my classroom environment and provide meaningful resources and experiences for my students. I would also put part of it toward continuing my education and pursuing a master’s degree in Educational Psychology.
