Tell us why you became a teacher

I am passionate about education and teaching the youth. I want to be the change and the inspiration that makes a difference in a child’s life. I aim to be a safe space and provide what is missing in a child’s life as their teacher.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had one student who didn’t understand his emotions and trying to figure out why he was different. I told him he can always come to talk to me and we will work through it. I purchased him a journal for him to express himself. Before the end of the year he became self assured, loving confident kid.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, I would repair my home. Pay my tithes and take my kids on a trip. It might not seem like a lot but it’s my dream.
