Learn MoreI become a teacher to help the younger generation learn, and become the best they can be. I always wanted to do a job that related to other people and building those relationships.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have a few favorite moments, but I loved when a few of my past students came to visit me when I was subing at their high school after I had them in junior high. I wasn’t even in their class, but between the bells they knew I was at the school, and they came to tell me how much of an impact I made of them back then. I also loved working at the Challenger Center and working with all different types of students from young to adults, and giving them a memorable experience through space exploration
What would you do with the $25,000?At this current moment, I would buy a new vechicle because mine is very close to dying. It would be wonderful to not have to worry about getting to work or other places I need to go.
