Tell us why you became a teacher

I was helping raise my little brother but also was bullied in school! I decided to teach children to help them know they are not alone!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When you have a child who is sad that your not at school. The parent messages you to tell you that the child cried because she was upset you weren’t at school.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Give back to the community and also buy things for my students to help them learn more. The last thing I would do is a small thing for myself like books for my bachelors degree to continue teaching children with my higher education
