Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help educate the children of the world. I wanted to make a difference in the lives of those children that are often looked over. Encourage and motivate all children to set goals and know they are capable of achieving each one they set.

Every moment is memorable.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would save it for a rainy day. Spend it on my family and students. Take my family on a small vacation.
