Learn MoreI had the greatest mentor/role model to look up to... my father, who was a coach/teacher in Texas for over 40+ years.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had the honor of mentoring a student that came from Mexico, and who knew very little English. He regained all of his missing credits within that first semester, all the while taking my Professional Communication class and learning English. We were able to get him involved in our AVID program. He is set to graduate from Plano West this Spring with a 4.3 GPA. I am so proud of this young man!
What would you do with the $25,000?Pay off all my debt, take my children on a vacation.
