Tell us why you became a teacher

I love helping people. Also, I didnt feel loved in school growing up and I wanted to make a difference in that all my students would feel loved.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had a student who nanny of the teachers and staff members found "annoying" and struggled to work with him. I worked with him to help him learn strategies to cope and to calm down. He grew so much socially, academically, and emotionally.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Help pay off my student loans and get supplies for my classroom and school.
