Learn MoreI was told my entire life I was born to be a teacher. I struggled academically in school myself especially in English. I became a teacher to help students who have struggles and behaviors to show them they aren’t alone and that learning can be fun.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable experience is probably having one of my non verbal students become verbal and able to say my name and have conversations with me. He has worked so hard. So many people in his family and in the district praise me for the accomplishments and growth they have seen in him. Being able to see my students growth are my memorable memories. Growth beyond academics as well. I coach our Unified bowling team. So I get to see my students growth in all areas and settings.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would completely redo my sensory area for my special needs child at home and completely redo my sensory area in my classroom at school to better fit my students needs. I would also use some of the money to partially pay for my wedding, as I recently got engaged.
