Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Being a coach (soccer and track) to my students for ten years was the best experience in and out of the classroom. Also, traveling with my students (Europe, DC, St. Augustine and other places) was an incredible experience.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Spend it on bills and my students.
