Marissa

I love teaching because I love the AHA moment kids go through. I also love shaping their little minds and seeing the different creativity.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because it is so fun I love being around kids and love the light bulb go off in the kids heads!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Name writing! It can be so stressful for some kids. When I was teaching how to write names a kid was so stressed out on day one and two weeks after practicing he was like MS. MARISSA YOU HELPED ME AND I DO SO GOOD AT WRITING MY NAME NOW.

What would you do with the $25,000?

It would help me out a lot with the way this economy is going for young people! Also will pay off loans that I have as well! I would also buy my classroom a lot of new things.
