My son is autistic, I was able to help him navigate this big world and help him be successful. This inspired me to want to help others students. I went back to school and got my Early Childhood/Elementary Education degree! Early childhood is so impactful to teach because the first 5 years of a child’s life is so critical and they learn so many things! I love being part of their journey and starting them off on the right path! My first class is graduating this year!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable experience has been helping a boy with a traumatic brain injury go from socially/emotionally struggling to a functioning person in our community! We worked really hard to help him, and his parents, through such a tough situation. So rewarding!
What would you do with the $25,000?With this kind of money I would help students in our high school that would like to be a teacher with a small scholarship. My son and daughter-in-law are teachers and I would love to help them pay off their loans! I would also take my husband on a vacation since he always helps me with my crazy ideas for my classroom! 😊
