Tell us why you became a teacher

It just sort of worked out that way! I went to college for zoology and I came home due to financial reasons and I ended up becoming a teacher for two year olds! It is the best job I ever had!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When my first ever class moved onto the next classroom getting to see their growth from when they started in my room to when they moved to the next room was amazing! Very bitter sweet

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my college loans, my car, put some in savings for an apartment and dedicate money to my classroom and my kids I am exploring going back to college for a teaching degree so the money would assist with that as well!
