Tell us why you became a teacher

My childhood wasn't a great experience for the most part. That changed in 3rd grade when I had a teacher that respected, empathized, and loved me! She saw me and my love for learning and teaching was born! (Keep it REaL! Respect, empathy, and love!)

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have countless memorable experiences! One of my most memorable teaching experience is when I did a class talent show with African dance. It was a "college" course I took in my late 20s and then shared with my eager 3rd graders. We had so much fun laughing and dancing together!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Visit my Dad more as he is terminal and take my 12 year old son to Washington DC. I love history! (My Dad would probably be most excited about me getting a story in Reader's Digest!)
