Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to "Be the change I wanted to see in the world!" I didn't grow up with much, much like my students, and I wanted to give them hope and a way to be successful!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience happened after teaching a student all year and into the summer. The child had struggled greatly with reading. One day, the student suddenly began reading full paragraphs. I started crying because it was the first time I had ever heard that child read like that. It was a moment I will never forget.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would want to spend the money rebuilding my resources and focusing on my enrichments and interventions. Then, I may take a trip!
