Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always loved to help others in various ways! I still remember growing up and wanting to be a teacher. I used to role play at home with siblings and cousins ! I always wanted to contribute to society and see future leaders wanting to make a difference too!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is when a 1st grade newcomer student became a fluent reader and writer in just one year!!!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take a great vacation with my family and purchase physical education equipment and resources for my students! I would also give them a great gift before they move on to 3rd grade! With this economy it’s very difficult to purchase items and resources for my classroom.
