Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I wanted to make a positive impact on our youth and make a positive difference in their lives.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I ran into a former student of mine whom I hadn’t seen in 10 years. As we were catching up, it turned out he decided to become a History teacher because of my class. I’ll never forget how proud I was!!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will pay off some debt and take a trip to Europe to see Normandy and parts of Germany!!
