Learn MoreI became a teacher to make a difference in others' lives. I wanted to share my passion for learning with students and help them relate to the real world. Giving back has always been a big part of who I am, and I became a teacher to do just that.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have taught for a few years, and my most memorable experience has been the hands-on projects I have implemented in my English classes. Students have had the opportunity to create their own Dystopian worlds, learn about the Holocaust by putting themselves in the shoes of those who lived through it, and gain life experiences from reading Autobiographies about people in challenging times.
What would you do with the $25,000?The $25,000 would be put towards getting new supplies for the English Department at my school. I would like to donate some of the money to our Special Education department and improve some of our club/ after-school opportunities.
