Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because my mother was a teacher and I wanted to follow in her footsteps. When I was younger I loved playing school with my cousins, friends and of course, I was the teacher lol.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is noticing that my students are being able to retain the information that's being taught. For example, I have been talking to my class about black history all month, and last Friday, our classroom assignment was to stand up in front of the class and tell us something about black history that they can remember, and each one of my Preschoolers was able to do so. I was extremely impressed.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I win the 25,000 I will do three things first I will give back to the less fortunate, second thing I will buy myself a car, lastly, I will invest in my vending machine business that I always dreamed of starting.
