Answer Example
"I have been a professor for several years and hope to continue teaching for many more years. I love being able to communicate and share my knowledge with others and was greatly affected by several of my college professors. One of my professors inspired me because he truly loved teaching, and it shone through in his lectures and classes so much. I want to be able to provide that for others."
