Tell us why you became a teacher

My Grandmother couldn't finish school, and we learned at a young age that school is a privelidge and opportunity. I chose to become the people that shape futures, and a person to provide a safe place to learn. My heros.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had a student be taken from my class, because he was screaming and yelling I couldn't remember his name. I had 700 students..... Well, this same student chose to join theatre club, that I taught, so he could open up more.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Go back to school for a Masters in education! I want to be an advocate for the arts.
