Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to have a positive impact in students' lives, and to be a good role model for them because that's what I needed growing up.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was the time I had students make vision boards at the beginning of the year to set goals for their success through the school year. Many students reached their goals. Good grades and better relationships.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am a single mother, so I would pay for my daughter's college.
