Is this a Trick Question
If I won the lottery I would probably continue to teach part-time. After teaching for two years I have become attached to the students and the personal fulfillment of teaching. It wouldn't be as easy as expected to leave my position as a teacher. I would enjoy great fortune and continue to give back to our youth at risk. But if I decided to stop teaching completely I would leave some advice to my successor. First,I would advise my replacement to start on lesson plans early. Secondly, prepare engaging activities and prepare for the expected and the unexpected. Then,stay focus on the your duties/responsibilities and the students. Finally,take time for yourself to regroup or refresh. Remember teaching can be fun and Challenging but as time goes on it will get better.
I agree with this being a trick question. If I won the lottery I would keep teaching. I have come to miss the students when I don't see them. I have built relationships with so many people I don't think that can be replace with money. If I won the lottery I would want to help people with the money and I can't think of a better place to start than teaching.
