Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to have a significant influence on children's lives, therefore I decided to become a teacher. I have a strong desire to support young people in realizing their full potential, particularly in the areas of encouraging creativity, curiosity,and self assurance.I am able to establish a nurturing, inclusive atmosphere where each child feels appreciated and can flourish by working with a variety of students, including those who have autism. Everyday, I get to inspire, mentor,and pupils.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Seeing the pride in the eyes of people who had faith in me was one of the most memorable experience of my journey.Every encounter confirmed my mission, weather it was a pupil expressing, gratitude,a family member encouraging me or mentor who recognized my ability.Ive discovered that teaching is more than just imparting knowledge it's also about fostering relationships boosting self-esteem and establishing an environment where each child feels appreciated.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take a thoughtful and balanced approach to it by taking care of family first, securing my future and making sure I enjoy something for myself to test for all the hard work and accomplishments I have done.
