Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help make a difference in the lives of children. I want children to know someone cares about them and to provide them with the skills/tools they need for them become the best person they can be for their future.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is not just one specific. It is every time a scholar comes back to me and tells me how they are doing and how I have impacted their life somehow.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The first thing I would do would be to put 2 soccer goals for the kids to play at recess. The next thing I would do is get furniture to make my classroom more flexible. The last thing I would do is use it for materials for more hands on experiments and labs (inquiry learning.
