Tell us why you became a teacher

I am an English Language Learner for life and am passionate about learning. My purpose is to inspire the love for learning in and out of the classroom to all the students that cross my path. I strive for them to love and respect themselves and never give up as they find their passion in life.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Too many memorable moments come to mind. The one that stands out is my first year teaching. The moment I realized how much a student, a child can carry and still smile thru it all, I knew I could not give up on them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the money, I would help a family member in need at the moment. I would also donate and help with covering events like field day for our school. The rest would go to either travel or get a new car that we are in need of.
