Learn MoreI became a teacher after years of my mother (who is also a teacher) telling me to give it a shot. I finally gave in after graduating with my bachelors degree and started as a paraprofessional in a kindergarten classroom.After just a couple months of being around all of the young minds who are excited to learn, I knew I found my calling.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWhen I was working in a kindergarten classroom a student was looking over my shoulder at something behind me. I asked what he was looking at. He said, “I’m just looking at my cheese.” Just a simple picture he colored that was on the wall! To this day it makes me laugh.
What would you do with the $25,000?With 25,000 I would like to put a portion of it towards my student debt. I would also like to set aside some money as a classroom fund for things I like to buy for the students throughout the year. Lastly, of course I would have to spend some on new teacher outfits!
