Learn MoreI became a teacher to impact the lives of my students by fostering a learning environment where they are consistently reminded that they are loved, that they can lead, and they are held accountable. In our classroom, mistakes are embraced as opportunities for growth as students continue their journey toward becoming the future leaders of our nation.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable experience is during Thanksgiving when we sit around the table, all 25 of them and I. We host a potluck which families are very supportive of. We express gratitude for each other, our families and how blessed we are. What a gift!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to help my brother with his start up business, help my parents, bless my church and pay off my student loans.
