I became a teacher because I genuinely love working with children. I enjoy watching them learn, grow, and build confidence in themselves. Being able to play a role in their development and make a positive impact in their lives is very important to me
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceOne of the most remarkable experiences I’ve had was teaching children with disabilities and watching them reach important milestones, such as learning how to read and write. Seeing their progress, growth, and confidence build over time was incredibly rewarding. Moments like those remind me why I am passionate about teaching and making a difference in each child’s life
What would you do with the $25,000?I would first give a portion to an autism support fund to help provide resources and services for children with autism. I would then invest in classroom supplies and educational toys to better support my students’ learning and development. Lastly, I would give back to the church that supported me, as a way to show gratitude and help them continue serving others in the community.
