Tell us why you became a teacher

Originally I was in nursing school, but that eventually didn’t feel like where I wanted to be. I found that I got a great sense of fulfillment in helping others with class material.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My personal favorite memory of teaching is the first lesson I ever created and taught in my education class in college. My professor pulled me to the side after class and told me that I would do great things.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off all of our debts! I would like to pay for my wife to finally get to go to college!
