Learn MoreI became a teacher to be a part of my students’ educational journey and to share my passion for reading. I want to inspire and encourage as many students as possible.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable moment is when I had a past student message me on Facebook and thanked me for all the support and advice she remembers me giving her in classroom. She stated that many things I taught he, she teaches them to her daughters. This moment made me so proud that I poured my heart into her and she realizes that I made her a life skill and not something she couldn’t apply in her now adult life as a mother.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to support my classroom and my two daughters that I adopted. There are so many things I could use the money for that would benefit them all.
