Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWell, one that happened super recently was my father unexpectedly passed away and at my father's funeral one of my old football players showed up to support me. I don't think he had met my father, but he wanted to be there to support me. Those are the types of relationships that are memorable to me as a part of my teaching experience.
