Tell us why you became a teacher

In college the teachers I’ve encountered seem so happy, understanding, and giving. And I wanted to bae a career that provided that too. I wanted to be there for others, as an adult I want to guide others and help them grow. I want to help them grow as future leaders, but also as people. Being kind, understanding and forgiving with others like we as adults should too. I also want to teach them the materials properly and provide a safe environment where they build confidence.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When I subbed for an Elementary school I was teaching them math. I like to call on students randomly to make sure they understood the material before they have homework. And one kid didn’t speak English so when I called on him and he told me in Spanish I went to him and assisted him in math. I also let others know throughout day they can work on math hw during class when they finish assignments and I’ll check. A lot did that and I cheer them on to build confidence and let them know they are good

What would you do with the $25,000?

To be honest I’ll probably still use some to buy supplies or treats for the kids. I tend to like to spoil them time to time when we do reviews and sweets sometimes motivates kids but reward is fun too I might do other rewards. But the rest I’ll probably invest because I would like to buy a home.
