Teaching is rewarding. It's an extremely tough job. I love teaching because when my students smile when they "Got It" that's is my reward!

I became a teacher because I have a passion for helping others. I wanted to make a difference in a child's life and be the reason someone would want to be a teacher. It wasn't until college, that a teacher made a difference in me. I felt as though that should have happened earlier in my life, therefore, I majored in Elementary Education.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceEvery year has been memorable from 1997 to the present.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would give a portion to my place of worship. I would purchase some supplies that can not be purchased with local allocation money. Purchase fun, bright, flexible furniture for the students. I would purchase at least 3 books per student on their level to take home 🏡 for the summer. I need a better computer 🖥 cart. Most definitely will purchase that! Fund a local educational field trip(s) for the students.
