Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceOne of the most memorable teaching experiences was when I had this young man who had been a bit of a challenge in school and to his mom. I would talk to him daily in class and as he worked and we talked more, he began to confide in me about his personal life, which gave me a more clear understanding of what may have made him so hard and distrusting of adults. As he was nearing the final few days of his senior year, we were having a conversation, he told me that he was scared and he trusted me..
What would you do with the $25,000?I would actually save a good portion of the money as I soon near to retirement and would purchase LOTS of supplies for my classroom and start a pantry for my classroom!! My students would LOVE THAT
