I love when the light goes on in the student's eyes when they "get it". Once the students understand my passion becomes their passion.

I have always wanted to change the world through creativity and the media. Now I can train up my students to change the world through their passion, creativity and skill. It's exponential growth as my students find their students as they try to change the world in their own way.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWhen I was teaching to Kindergartners, I had one difficult student, we'll call Johnny (not his real name). Nothing seemed to work. After talking to his mother I found out Johnny's father was killed earlier in the year. With the context of his behavior, I met him with a different tact of empathy. I got down on Johnny's level and acknowledged his pain. Johnny felt heard. Knowing the context of the struggle made all the difference. Two people were changed that day.
What would you do with the $25,000?Buy additional video and editing equipment so my students would be able to produce even more great content to change the world.
