I love teaching because I remember when I was a child I looked up to my teacher. I wanted them to help me succeed and I felt great.

I became a teacher because I wanted children to have the same great experience as I did in school. I did not speak English but my teachers were very supportive in finding me the help I needed. The teachers made great effort to have communication with me.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy memorable teaching experience was when a parent contacted me to tell how much they have seen their child grow. From not having been in school at all, the parent was grateful of how their child had come.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000 dollars I would split it with my children and open an account for them. I would also pay any debt that o may have.
