Tell us why you became a teacher

It is hard to describe my why. I became a teacher to help children learn ~ learn to read, learn to write, and learn to be kind. Seeing students grow while learning science, math, reading and writing is the best!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable moments teaching are when I am able to witness the moments when students realize they have achieved what they set out to do!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take a family vacation. Being able to spend quality time with my grown children and grand children would be amazing. Of course, it would be nice to not have to worry about the extra things you always need in the classroom.
