I became a teacher because I believe that knowledge is power, and I am proud to be part of a profession that shared equitable access to that power with the young people of my community.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy school hosts an annual Latin Culture Fair, and many of my most memorable teaching experiences come from that event and watching my students interact in an authentic way with Latin cultures from our community to learn about open-mindedness, empathy, and compassion.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would fund events and field trips for my students to access equitable learning opportunities, and give my students the ability to learn about Spanish in authentic and engaging ways outside of the classroom.
