I became a teacher because I believe the most important thing we can do on this planet is make a positive impact on the next generation. Make the world better for them and give them the tools to be better than us. Teaching gives me all the opportunities to make that mission possible. I instill this message in all my students and always will! #speakyourself
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceDefinitely my first year teaching in Orlando! I had just moved to the city, and the school I was at was bigger than my hometown. It was so much fun to have students from all over the world! I learned a ton! My students were so eager to share their world with me, show me music from their home countries, and teach me phrases in everything from Portuguese to Russian. It made me the person I am today. It's also the first time I did a high kick for my students, and now it's become a big deal for all
What would you do with the $25,000?My wife and I are both teachers! So, I would first take her on the international vacation she deserves, and then use the rest to help payoff our house.
