Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of my fifth grade teacher. I was struggling in school when it came to reading. She was the elementary that helped me and pushed me to get the help that I needed. She inspired me to because a teacher and help my students when they are having a hard time like she did for me.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I was only subbing a few years ago. I subbed a lot for a kindergarten teacher. There was one particular student in that class that needed a one to one. If I was not subbing they had me with that particular student.He had a heard time with anyone except me. I would help him and give him the attention that he needed. He was very smart but he just needed someone with him at all times.That particular student will always hold a special place in my heart.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the 25,000 dollars I would use it for my classroom. I would get things that my students need and for those parents that have a hard time getting materials. I would also get some more treasure for our treasure box.
