I want to help little kids learn and love to read. I also want to show them that someone loves and cares for them.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had a student that came from a very rough home life. No one knew how told help him. He was really struggling and had lots of outbreaks. I pushed and looked into a company that came in and helped in school and at home. This boy finally had people in his life that knew and showed him love he had never felt before. He started learning and his behavior got much better.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to help more students.
