Learn MoreI looked for something that gave me purpose, fulfilled my passion, and that I was good at. I love children and always have, so after my attempt at being an engineering student, I flunked out of college and then when I finally returned 5 years later, I majored in education. It’s been 30 years and I have held many roles along the way. My job has purpose and I meet students who help me understand my purpose daily!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI remember having a student who was in the exceptional education department and had math with that particular class. He came to me and said he wanted to be in the class with the regular education students. I told him I was fine with this but he would have to commit to working hard daily and not discouraged. He agreed. We got to the point where we would have tutoring sessions at 6:30 in the morning before school opened to be sure he was ready. He would beat me to school.He moved from an F to a C!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use some of the cash to get my daughter through college, vacation, and reward my students. The students I currently teach do not get to go many places and I would love to take them on an adventure that will last them a lifetime!
