Learn MoreI became a teacher because I wanted to be a good role model for children and show them that they can follow their dreams and have them come true. I'm very patient with children of all ages but I really love working with the younger age groups. I Had 2 teachers in my life that made a impact growing up and I strive to be like them for my students. They believed in me. I want to show my students to follow there dreams and never give up.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy memorable teaching experience( I have alot) It was my first year of teaching and I was doing group time, I had a fun activity planned. All of a sudden the fire alarm started, I got all the kids to stand up and fallow me outside, I did a headcount I had everyone and then when we went back in one of my students asked if we can continue our group time which I did.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would spend a little of it on my mom and myself and I would donate some of it to a charity. My parents always taught me it's nice to help others who really need it more then you do.
