Tell us why you became a teacher

Honestly I had plans of becoming a doctor but after I didn't do so well in calculus and chemistry my first semester in college, I changed to education. The Lord knew what he was doing and placed me right where I needed to be.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experiences are when you see the light bulb finally go off for your students. When they struggle so long and then they finally get it! I love seeing my students grasp concepts and become proud of themselves!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy a car for my daughter and put the rest in savings
