As a Spanish teacher, Deeg says her favorite part of being an educator is working with the students and building relationships with them.
“Each student is unique and has a different learning style,” Deeg stated. “While some may think this is challenging, I love getting to know my students and meeting each of their unique needs.”
At the time of this article’s publication, Deeg currently sits fourth overall in her group, with the first cuts on Thursday, April 4. Deeg says she plans on taking her family of six on vacation should she win the $25,000.
“I would love to take them to Costa Rica, where I studied abroad, to experience the rich culture and meet my host families,” added Deeg. “Then I would use some of the money for classroom supplies.”

Those interested in voting for Deeg can cast one vote for free or make a monetary donation, which is good for a vote per dollar.
