Learn MoreI originally was following in my mom’s footsteps. She was an amazing teacher! After my first year, I knew I made a fantastic decision becoming an educator. The look on a student’s face when they finally “get it” makes me so excited to continue the journey.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI received a message on Facebook from a former student who became a teacher. She told me that she became a teacher because of me. That made my heart so happy.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use some of it to pay for the rest of college for my youngest son. The rest I would pay off bills and put away for retirement (in 8 years).
