Tell us why you became a teacher

I’m in a dual major certification online full-time student as well as a full-time preschool teacher. I’m going for early education and special education. I want to make children feel heard and cared about

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A child who is being abused at home, came to me to tell me and said you make me feel safe. I feel comfortable to tell you my heart was broken, but my heart was full to know I could help him

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to pay off my schooling when I finish. And get proper resources for my classroom and the children of my classroom. I come from a home with a single mom money has always been tight.
