Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceAlthough I haven’t been teaching for long, my most memorable moment for teaching so far has been the summer of my first year teaching I had a parent reach out to tell me how much of a difference I had made. The student then sent me postcards as they traveled during the summer.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to pay off some of my student loans so that I can be in a better financial position to hopefully begin my masters program soon.
