Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I was called to do just that, to teach. It takes a special person to teach and love children to help them grow and become what they are destined to be.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable moments teaching has been seeing one of the lowest children in the grade level learn to love reading and become a successful reader.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take and buy more learning materials for my class to help them develop into strong learners.
