Learn MoreI became a teacher because I have always had a special place for children in my heart. I loved my first grade teacher and wanted to be just like her when I grew up. Somehow I ended up teaching at that school I grew up in, and got to teach with my favorite teacher. What an amazing ride
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWow, there are so many. I would say I have a three way tie. I taught all three of my girls. Watching them grow and learn and instill a love of leaning in them was an awesome feeling. I was lucky enough to see that look of joy in their eyes. That was priceless for me.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would give some of it to my school. I work at a small rural school that educates many low income students. I would also go on a retirement trip with my coworkers because they are more than coworkers, they are family.
