The best part of teaching is watching my students make connections and then grow. Getting to connect with so many people is the best!

I was originally working to be a school psychologist. So I always knew I wanted to work with kids in some form. I substitute taught while in school and realized I loved teaching and watching the "lightbulb" of their brains.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a student who had come from Mexico and spoke very limited English. He grew so much in that year that he was above proficiency on all sections of our state standardized test. It was incredible to watch him grow!
What would you do with the $25,000?Pay off some debt or put new siding on my house.
