Tell us why you became a teacher

I had a teacher in high school who bent over backwards to make sure that I was doing okay in all of my classes. She made such an impact on me that I wanted to be able to do the same for others.

It came years after the students left the school. They messaged me on Facebook and told me that I made a difference in his life. That made all the stress of working with special needs kids worth it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d save some in the bank and then use the rest to travel the world.
