Tell us why you became a teacher

i became a teacher because it’s a rewarding job it’s not about the money it’s about putting smiles on those kids faces and making them happy each and everyday! those kids are my absolute everything, i would do anything and everything for them! they are my constant through every good and bad day!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

my most memorable teaching experience is when i had my children put their handprints on my graduation stole. As a piece to carry on with me on graduation night.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give back to the homeless people in need, my cousin owns a non profit for Rwanda so I would donate money there.
