Learn MoreI became a teacher because I simply wanted to make a difference in children’s lives. I wanted to help children and I wanted to achieve those “AHA” moments where my instruction has clicked to students.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was just a couple of years ago- I had a student who was in the home bound program after receiving treatment for cancer. I was able to collaborate with his family and program leader to help best give him the same educational experience as the other children in my class. He has since gone to heaven, but I still keep contact with his family. I went on to teach his younger sister. His family will forever hold a special place in my heart.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would be able to pay off all of my student loans from school and be able to start my masters degree in hopes of specializing in speech pathology.
