Tell us why you became a teacher

It's amusing, as my original intention was to become an architect, but upon entering the education program, I discovered my passion for teaching. I realized I'm a natural educator, and from my first group, I knew that was my calling. Also I love when they called me Mr. Marin.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One notable experience that stands out was teaching sculpture to a blind student, for which I created an entire 3D lesson plan tailored to blind kids without any assistance, relying solely on my imagination, and my student achieved success.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Establish a private art classroom offering sculpture lessons to children and adults, including those with disabilities such as deafness and blindness.
