I struggled with my emotions as a kid and just wanted to feel loved and safe. I try to be that person for my students today.

I became a teacher because I wanted to help and make a difference in the world. Teaching is my passion and my calling. I want to do my part while I have time on this earth.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThere are so many incredible experiences, but I’d have to say when I was asked to take in my 7 year old student and his sister. They are now my beautiful children and it’s all because he was in my class.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put a down payment on a house for my kids and move out of an apartment. I would pay off bills and give back to the community.
