Tell us why you became a teacher

I have a very good experience in high school with my ag teacher and knew I wanted to teach ag out of highschool then at community college had great advisors as well

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When I was doing my student teaching and we were testing shell strength in eggs and a student blew one up all over my brand new pants. Great laughs that day

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off bills and maybe take my family on a much needed vacation. As a ag teacher we don’t have summers off and it’s very hard to take a day off. So this would be life changing
