Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when I made a shark necklace as a reward for good behavior. Then, about 7 years later, I was the young man, and he said he still had his shark necklace. It made me realize how important it is for me to get to know each of my students every year.
What would you do with the $25,000?$25,000, Wow! I would probably take a couple of trips with my family. I would love to go to Europe with my daughter. I would also love to visit Australia. The world is a big place, and I have not seen much of it... I really like to, though. If there were some left, it would be nice to invest in my daughter's college career.
