Learn MoreI became an educator because I genuinely love learning. I will forever be curious. I enjoy discovering new ideas and exploring how things work. Teaching has become a natural extension of that curiosity — a way to share knowledge and keep learning at the same time. Perhaps the strongest reason, for myself is the connection with students. Teaching is about encouraging confidence, guiding potential, and supporting growth.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThe most memorable moment was when one of my former students came back for a visit. He was in high school and came to visit to let me know that he was so grateful for the difference I made. He was grateful for the learning experience but also for the structure and discipline.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off both mine and my daughter's student loans.
