Learn MoreDuring my studies with hopes of being in the medical field, I took a year to teach abroad and found my love of teaching the sciences to the younger generations. It’s more than the material taught, but also a relationship is formed to help guide students to a better future. Can’t see my life any other way anymore.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMost memorable was during my first year of teaching when a student who struggled in education, put his trust in me and through our work together, he was able to continue on in more than just a science courses and pass all his classes. As I left that year, he gave me a big hug at the airport and promised me he would graduate in four years. He kept that promise and is now a high school graduate.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would honestly put it towards my student loans and to keep my classroom tea bar fully stocked at all times.
