Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of the impact that my teachers had on me when I was growing up. I truly believe it is the most important (often unappreciated) job out there. Student needs become more and more challenging every year. It takes special people in this world to help make a difference.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Kids that I see on their graduation day. Especially the ones that are crying and thanking me, because they didn’t think they would make it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

It’s hard to survive on the salary as a single parent. Definitely pay off debt!
