Learn MoreI had a number of challenges when I was in school. I was diagnosed late in life with dyslexia and ADHD, which I learned impacted my education. I don't want any student to ever feel like I did in school. Now, I teach reading intervention and work with students who have learning and emotional difficulties. I love watching them grow and become more confident in their abilities.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThis is difficult, I have some amazing memories with students, but if I had to pick one, it would be with a student who came to me reading at a 2nd grade level, we worked together 3 times a week from his Freshman year to his Senior year. During his Senior year he started reading at a 7th grade level and wrote me a thank you note (on his own) thanking me for helping him be more independent. I have the card hanging in my house!
What would you do with the $25,000?Pay off my student loans and some bills.
