Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to instill a love of learning in my lovebugs. We never stop learning and I think when you love to learn there is nothing that can stop you!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience teaching was when one of my most challenging students told me he was moving to another school and we both cried that day. Even with him gone I kept up with him. One of his rewards for his chart was to call me to talk and tell me about his day. We even met up for ice cream with his mom. I am still in contact with this family to this day. It’s about connections with kids and this one really showed me the power of connection.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off as much debt as I could with this money! That way my family and I could save more and start building our dream life.
