Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I wanted to help make learning fun; just like some of my educators did when I was in school. I wanted to be a positive influence in children's lives, especially those that don't have someone on their team at home.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

This year I had the honor of being given the jersey of one of my former students to wear at school to represent his favorite teacher. I was shocked he remembered me from 6th grade but honored to know I at least made a difference in one life.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000, I would spend part of it to help me pay for my masters of teaching expenses so I can gain more knowledge to help more students. I would also put aside money for my own children’s college fund.
