JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Sarah Kitchen is this week's Teacher of the Week!

She says her students are her motivation.

"It was literally the only job I ever wanted to have" said Kitchen. "My parents said when I was really little, like 3 or 4… I would go to preschool and when I’d come home they’d ask me what I was doing, and I would have my dolls all lined up on the floor and I would be teaching them a lesson."

Kitchen's students also celebrate her. One student said she was the best teacher in the world.

"She’s the nicest teacher ever," said Daniel.
