I wouldn’t be here today if not for some teachers that showed me they cared. I can never repay them, but I can pay it forward.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher, because I love being a student. I love learning and I want to share that joy with others.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had a student yell, "Freedom of speech!!!," and then loudly farted in the middle of my lecture. I had no idea how to react.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy my students the resources they do not have access to. I could enrich their education with new materials. I also promised to buy them snacks. I am a graduate student and would use a lot of the money to pay to advance my education. I might even pursue a Doctorate.
