Tell us why you became a teacher

It’s all started when I wanted to study to become a nurse for newborn babies. I had a counselor that wasn’t positive about my career. So I gotten discouraged and wanted to quiet . When I started to do the child development classes I started to think about should I change career. When one day I started to tutor kids of elementary which I knew being a teacher was my calling.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

While I was teaching Spanish to the students . One child was so happy to learned Spanish and the parent told me that they were so impressed by what their child has learned.

What would you do with the $25,000?

To put a down payment on a house for my family . Even though they are all grown adults I would leave them a house that has love for them. Also go on a cruise since I never been on any trips or out of the country .
