Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Helping an autistic child starting at 3 and helping her to adapt to new things, familiar surroundings, familiar people and to navigate timy situations. Example: no one could come to their house to visit grandparents cousins no one so I went in and helped her learn to cope with the newness. She is now graduating high school, and along the way became a Girl Scout acted in a play and was on the debate team. She is a true testament that she could take her. She was and be all she could be, a star

What would you do with the $25,000?

Help my daughter with her house , help her find a new job and maybe go away for a long weekend. I’d add a bit to my retirement and give some to the charity I advocate for all year ALZ
