Tell us why you became a teacher

I have loved children my whole life and have a connection with every child I meet. I became a preschool teacher after experiencing the joy of that age group when my daughter was there. I crave being able to see students learn something new that will last them their lifetime.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I will always remember when a 4 year old in my class spelled "Hi" without even realizing it and I made a huge deal out of it and celebrated that he spelled his first ever word and the look on his face, so proud and excited was simply amazing. He continued through the rest of the year trying to spell words and kept saying, "you remember when I spelled Hi"&"

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off some of my debt and get new windows in my house
