I became a teacher to inspire students to believe in THEMSELVES. To encourage them in the academics...and help them develop their individual talents. Over my 40 years of teaching K-12.. we learned together to understand life and the world we live in today.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when a child of Mr. Stone , a student I had taught way back in 5th grade ,came up to me and gave me a big hug.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000, I'd send it to my niece in Hartford, Connecticut, Bridget Gohla, who teaches the most difficult students who have learning difficulties..are seniors, and are learning to ready themselves for thereal world.
