Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because teaching is not about money, but about building a human life to be successful!!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I attended my eighth-grader's graduation, and she gave me a thank-you card for helping her read, speak, and write English.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give a down payment to buy a home for my mom and I to live.
