Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because God has always put a passion in me for teaching and children. It is my calling.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience has been when my former students have graduated. A few years ago a former student whom I had in second grade and at the time didn’t speak English chose me to place her honor cords around her neck at a ceremony. It was amazing to see her and ten years later be able to hold a conversation in English. She told me that she had chosen me as her most memorable teacher because I taught her to speak English.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to help my own 3 children attend college.
