I love the connections I make. I also love when I can build up the confidence in my students so they know that they can do anything.

Learn MoreI became a teacher because I love working with kids. It is my calling. I know that this is what I was meant to do. I love all the ups and downs teaching brings and the connections with students and families that I make. I love seeing the light bulb when students get it. I also love to celebrate when students share what they have learned.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThis is hard, as I have so many amazing memories. I was lucky to have one class two times. Once in Kindergarten and again when they were Second Graders. That group of students and I have such a different bond. Half of them come visit me daily before going off to their classes. I also now have other kids who I haven't taught that come in and say good morning and get a hug. I tell them that I love them and tell them to have a great day! It is such a great start to the day for all involved!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put it toward my mortgage. To help pay down our house.
