If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

I could make so many people happy if I was given a million dollars.  Although I would buy a few things I have always wanted, (Corvette Convertible, nice house with some land) but I could use some to help my community

Final thought

The Kingsburg FFA Chapter is one of the best chapters in California.  I am so proud to work with such a great set of officers, and students.

Who has had the greatest impact on your life?

My parents have both been very influential to me -- in different ways.  My mom is the strongest woman I know and has taught me to be a strong woman and a good mother to my own children.  My dad has been a major influence on me, professionally.  He has a strong work ethic and instilled that same strength in me.  He truly believes in ag education and encourages me daily to be the very best teacher that I can be!

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

I would do a lot of cool things for my family, including:  pay off our house mortgage, pay off my parent's mortgage, buy my in-laws a home with land, put money away for Auston & Avery's education, give my sister, brother-in-law and sister-in-law $30,000 cash, and then Dustin & I would take our kids to Disney World for a week!  After that, the responsible part of me would probably invest the rest.   Oh. . . .one more frivilous thing -- I would buy a ridiculously expensive purse that is completely impratical for an ag teaching mom of 2!!!!!!  

Final thought

I love teaching agriculture at Kingsburg High School!!!   I have great students and love working in this community.  My students remind me every day that teenagers are GOOD PEOPLE and have a lot to offer this world.
