Tell us why you became a teacher

I started as a substitute for a first grade class. We needed eachother. I had recently divorced. We learned together. I learned how to pivot during dark times and they learned that they could do anything they focused on.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Nothing can compare to all the drawings, cards, and handwriting notes I’ve received and kept over the last 7 years. To know they thought of me enough to take time and express that love.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d pay bills to create some peace for myself. I’d put $5000 towards my home repairs I’d throw a party for all six of my hours Id purchase more work clothes ❤️
