I love how innocent children are. Teaching young children is rewarding to me because I feel like I am helping to shape the future.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I knew my whole life I wanted a career centered around children. Children are our future. I want to help shape our future in a positive way.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my young students saw me out in public and couldn’t believe it, they had thought I slept in the classroom closet. He is now graduated and in college and still remembers my class and me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would most likely renovate my daycare area. I really need new flooring. The cork floor is getting rough. My playground area needs renovated as well and would like to get a commercial size playset.
