Teaching is my passion, because I get to shape a person. I get to give them experiences and knowledge that they might not get other wise.

Learn MoreI became a teacher because I had great teacher growing up that inspired me. Also, when I came here to the US (I was born in PR) and had my children, they also help me and my kids. I couldn't speak the language and they helped me. Then, they started to encourage me to become a teacher. They helped me be the teacher that I am. And even after they have retired, still help me in my journey. Now, I am trying to do the same for others. I try my best to help my students, their parents, and my coworkers
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when I got a knee replacement surgery and my students and parents would come and visit me. They would call me and send me cards for the 8 weeks that I was out.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the money to pay some of my college debt and fix somethings in my house that I really have wanted to fix for a long time.
