I became a teacher because I knew I wanted to help out the world somehow. Teaching helps children each and everyday and I feel that with teaching I am setting up a bit of the world up for success.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThe most memorable teaching experience was when my children have their can do it moment with little things like zipping there own coat or packing up on there own. In my classroom we always say the children can do hard things and we never give up and we always encourage trying!!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would go back to school and get another degree in education. I have wanted to go back for a while but the financial part has been putting a hold on me. I would also use some of the money to better my classroom.
