Learn MoreI became a teacher because after being a substitute teacher at my son’s school and enjoying the interactions with the students. I just felt like I wanted to share with students what I have learned over the years. I feel like knowledge is power and it is even more powerful to share it.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience is having students that have graduated come back tell me about their college experiences and how much my class prepared them for college. And that they remember all the lessons that I taught them.
What would you do with the $25,000?To be honest, I would use the money to help with the completion of my Master’s degree and do something for my biggest supporters; my mom and my son. I feel like they keep me grounded as a teacher and person. They uplift me on my worst days and help me remember my why. For that if I win I feel like they need to be celebrated as well.
