Tell us why you became a teacher

It's a natural instinct, to teach someone something they didn't know makes you feel so rewarded!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

This year I have a 3.5 year old girl. She never seems to be listening in class. Always spinning on the rug, or talking out of turn. One day I saw her write an X on the ground with chalk. She then went and got Alexander, and said look I wrote your name! She was learning all along! She knew he had an X in his name, we discussed it during class time. They are learning even when we think they're not. I love teaching.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Go to graduate school and get my Masters Degree.
