I love teaching elementary because I love inspiring them to want to learn. I love seeing their faces every morning and hearing good morning.

Learn MoreI became a teacher, because at the time I had two young children of my own. I wanted to be able to spend the holidays and weekends with them and not miss out on their experiences. I quickly realized that it was my calling. It's more than just a job to me.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have been teaching in private and in public schools for the past 26 years. My most memorable experiences are having my own children in my class and working in the same school district as them. That is something I will always cherish and never forget.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000 I would give a portion of it back to our small community. I would love to make an indoor center where our community kids could go and hang out. It would at least be a start.
