Tell us why you became a teacher

I was inspired by my assistant baseball coach in high school and by my mother who taught for over 30 years

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I currently work at a place called The Summit. It is Pasadena (TX) ISD’s DAEP. I’ve have had a lot of different experiences while working here the last 10 years. A student told me once when it was his last day before heading back to his home campus “Mr. Garcia keep doing what you’re doing.” I have basically taken that and run with it since then.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off debt that I owe and then use the rest to start up a trust fund for my kids
