Tera Hofer

I teach for those “lightbulb” moments. Seeing a child finally get something that they have worked so hard on is a feeling like no other!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of teachers I had growing up. They were my safe space and school is where I thrived. I knew that I wanted to be that exact same things for kids one day.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A moment I will never forget is receiving a graduation invitation from one of my first students. I actually cried when I opened it. It was my first class of fourth graders and she thought enough of me to invite me to watch her graduate!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take our family on vacation! Probably Disney World first, then use the money responsibly and pay on some things!
