Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because this is what I want since when I was a child. I love teaching kids, helping and sharing my knowledge to them is really fulfilling and life changing.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience as a teacher was when my students parents told me about how they were grateful and thankful to me for being their child’s teacher and saying that their children change a lot and succeed now in life. It’s very rewarded to hear that as a teacher.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Some of the amount, I will share it to my colleagues to buy school materials so that a lot of students can use it for their learning. I will donate some of the money to schools need financial help. I know even in a simple way we can make differences as well to others. I will also use it for my continuous learning because I believe as a teacher we must continue to upgrade our knowledge, skills and our professional growth as a whole to be the best version of yourself as a teacher!
