Learn MoreI was getting close to graduating high school and I still didn't know what I wanted to study. My high school had a preschool for the teachers' kids and they offered and early childhood development class. I decided to take the class and I fell in love with it, and decided then that I wanted to be a teacher.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI absolutely love teaching but I also love playing with the kids when I have time. My school has 9-square court which the kids are obsessed with and if I have time during recess, I sometimes play with them. They think it's so fun that the teacher is playing, and I get to keep building my relationship with not only the kids in my class but the kids in the whole grade.
What would you do with the $25,000?I just had a baby and we or trying to save up to buy a house. So I would use the $25,000 to put towards a down payment.
