Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help students who struggle with learning. To be a role model because I too have a learning disability and I can prove to them it did not stop me from following my dreams.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A few years back I watched one of my students graduate from high school with a 4.0 GPA and he was Valedictorian for his class. He thanked me for helping him his 4 years at the school.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy more laptops from my resource room. Buy more books for the kids to read. Creat a sensory Station in my classroom.
