I love being a teacher because I get to show kids that learning is fun. I love the “aha” moment when they reach their goals! It all clicks.

I became a teacher because of the 13 years of amazing teachers I had. I also looked up to my mom who was a teacher! I wanted to be part of the community that helped me grow!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy favorite teaching minors would have to be watching a student go full circle. From teaching them in 5th grade, to being successful in middle and high school, graduating and becoming an amazing citizen.
What would you do with the $25,000?Probably spend it on my classroom! Honestly, I can’t imagine what I would do with that much money all at once! Probably put a little in savings, buy me something nice and pay off debt. Anything left over would be used on my classroom I’m sure!!!
