I became a teacher to help make dreams happen!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Every day with my students is memorable. Every day if different with them, a new learning curve, a new learning experience!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to pay off student debt, or maybe get myself a new car (my car is about 15 years old haha)
