Learn MoreI love working with kids and becoming a teacher has allowed me to work with kids and have a lasting impact on them in a positive way. Cultivating a natural love for learning is something I continually strive for with my students. A love for reading is also something I try to encourage my students with.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when some of my students didn’t like to read at all and looked at it as a chore. After several months of working together and trying to incorporate texts they liked and were engaged with, they started asking me if they could read instead of playing a game. As a reading specialist, that’s the ultimate goal with all of my students, so that was very memorable.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off some student loans and continue to go to school to further my education in school leadership.
