Tell us why you became a teacher

To make a difference in at least one child’s life.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I am a preschool teacher and I have the 3 year old class, and I was with a small group, maybe 3 to 4 kids. And we were going over letter recognition and sounds. I asked one of the little boys (the one that usually says “I don’t know”) “What letter is this?” He told me the letter and the sound it makes. I was so shocked and proud, I said to him “Great job you are so smart, who taught you that?” And he said “You did Mrs.Zee” at that moment my heart just melted and I just knew I made a difference

What would you do with the $25,000?

My family is in the process of buying a house. And we have been working so hard to make this happen, I would use $25,000 to make our home complete .
