I am 42 years young! I have 7 wonderful children and two grandchildren. I have been teaching pre-k and kindergarten for almost 20 years.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ariana Suarez in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love that I am able to see now what I recall my parents saying “You’ll see when you have your own children,” or “when you get my age, I want to see how you handle this.” Now I’m seeing exactly why they said what they said or why they did what they did when we asked or did something.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by working out at least 4 days a week and trying to eat healthy. I’m also a kindergarten teacher so I am standing most of the time and always around 20+ active students. I also have 6 children, 2 dogs, and 2 kittens who currently live with me. I get up at 6am and don’t get to rest until about 10pm.
What would you do with the $40,000?Definitely down payment for a bigger home! Now that my children are older, they are tired of sharing bedrooms since we live in a 3 bedroom house. It worked better when they were younger but now that they are older not so much and with a teacher salary it really doesn’t help out much to buy a bigger home! But, I love my job!
