Being "in the corner" for kids/families who might not have anybody else to support them is what drives me.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my students became sick and was unable to attend school. While recovering he told his mother, "Mom, I need to go to school to see what Miss Tammy is doing today." He had a fever but insisted on going to school. Over the years, the majority of my students have loved to come to school, and today they still do.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay for (childcare). I would love to give the parents of my students a "night out," or rather, an evening free. My students are medically fragile, and many have disabilities.
