Terence Horne Jr

I love teaching because the bonds I have with my students are everything. Close, positive, bonds with great roles models are what’s needed!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I’m a big kid at heart and one thing I’ve always hated was a boring learning experience. So O made it my passion to make learning for n and engaging in everyday! Also, we have so many kids out here who do not have positive role models and as the years go by more children are attracted to negativity more and more. So I make it my passion business to try to b a positive light in a world so dark.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was celebrating our 100th day of school. All the teachers had to dress like they were 100 years old and act like senior citizens. It was hilarious, but the kids had a lot of fun with us. It really showed the bonds we shared with our students.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Of course take care of some personal things, but mainly start to invest in building a youth center in my city to give the youth something positive to do outside of school and on weekends while also giving them a safe space.
