Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I genuinely love working with children and being part of their growth. I enjoy teaching them, playing alongside them, and helping shape their young minds. Their curiosity and eagerness to learn inspire me every day. It is incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, become more confident, and develop new skills day by day. Seeing their progress and having the opportunity to support their learning journey is what makes teaching so meaningful to me.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I had the opportunity to publish a book with my class. Through this project, each student became a published author. It was an incredible moment to see their excitement and pride when they realized their work had turned into a real book. They were so grateful for the experience and thanked me for guiding them through such a meaningful project. Hearing them say that they would remember this moment—and our time together—forever made it truly special.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000, I would take a few months off from work and finally travel through Asia, which has been a dream of mine for a long time. I would also invest in a house in my home country. If there were any funds remaining, I would use them to start a small side business.
