Learn MoreI fell in love with teaching in high school. I took a class that let me travel to the local elementary school, where a teacher let me teach a small reading group of her students. I loved it and decided to be a teacher. I luckily got to do that two years; that sealed my future.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a student that I taught that struggled to read. She found me on Facebook, requesting me to write her a referral to get into college to be a teacher. She is now a teacher at the school I taught her at. I am so proud of her!
What would you do with the $25,000?Invest in my own child’s future. Children are the future. It is the most important thing we leave behind, therefore they are the one thing we should spend our time, money, and love investing in.
