I became a teacher because I believe in the power of education to shape young minds and make a lasting impact. Watching children grow, discover, and develop confidence in themselves is one of the most rewarding experiences. Every day brings new challenges, joys, and opportunities to make a difference in the lives of my students. Their smiles, excitement, and progress remind me why I chose this path!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceIt’s the joy in their eyes, the excitement in their voices, and the pride they feel in their achievements. It’s the unexpected hugs, the laughter-filled moments, and the heartfelt “thank yous” that make every challenge worth it. Knowing that I’ve made a difference, no matter how small, in shaping a child’s future is what makes teaching truly unforgettable!!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would save put a portion into a savings account, emergency fund, or investment to grow over time. Pay Off debt like paying off student loans! I would also love to travel and take a dream vacation to explore a new destination I’ve always wanted to go. Lastly I would give back I would donate to support a cause I’m passionate about- animals!
