Tell us why you became a teacher

My son did not have a good experience in Kindergarten. I didn't want this to happen to other kids.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience is when I get a student who other say is "trouble" and I build a rapport with them and they show who they really are.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would spend it on my class. I work in a very low income school, I buy treats and prize box rewards with my money weekly.
