I became a teacher to inspire others to find their purpose and value in life and help them reach their goals.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable experience is when I taught a student who had immigrated to Texas from Mexico. He had told me the most horrific struggles to come to this country. That year I worked to make sure that he received the education he deserved. On the last day of school, that student cried and said this was the best class he ever had and didn’t want to leave. Even with a language barrier he was able to pass the state test and the class so that he could move on to high school. Very proud moment.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off my debts first and take my family in a vacation.
