I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember. The idea of sharing my love of learning with others.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWhile in the hospital waiting room after my husband had a horrible accident I was standing there waiting to be buzzed in the TICU and I hear Mrs. Pagano? I turned around and a grown man was standing there. He told me I was his middle school math teacher and he never forgot me telling him that he needed math to be successful. He wanted me to know he owned his own business and he was just talking about me and what I meant to him days before. It was amazing timing in the worst moment of my life.
What would you do with the $25,000?My husband is a recent parapalegic and it would help pay for home health needs while I am gone at work during the day.
