Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I wanted to be a part of making a difference in children’s lives.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I worked on an Indian Reservation and I gained the respect of my Native students. I was able to reach a culture that would otherwise be too hard to reach. Today I still have a relationship with the students and the people in the community.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Some of the money would be used to help pay for my child’s education and save some.
