I became a teacher to inspire & empower young minds, just as my own teacher, Miss Channer inspired me. She saw greatness in me & pushed me to achieve it. I want to be that same catalyst for my students, helping them unlock their potential & become the best versions of themselves.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceA reluctant reader, who rarely spoke in class, surprised us by volunteering to read aloud. His voice trembled, but he read with conviction. I rushed over, lifted him up, and the class cheered! I cried tears of joy, witnessing this breakthrough moment.
What would you do with the $25,000?With $25,000, I'd first pay off my own student loans, freeing myself from financial burdens and allowing me to focus on my students. Next, I'd invest in innovative classroom resources and establish a scholarship fund for underprivileged students. I'd also invest in my own mental, emotional, and professional growth, ensuring I'm equipped to provide the best possible education and support for my students.
