QUESTION 10 OF 30

What do you like most about a teaching career?

Consider what gets you out of bed in the morning and what makes you excited to go to work. Be sure to answer this in a way that shows your true interest in the career path you have chosen.

"The one thing that I am most excited about in the morning is knowing that I am on my way to making a difference in a child's life. I have been given the irreplaceable task of influencing them for hours a day - teaching them how to communicate and giving them confidence. That truly is what drives me in this career."

Anonymous Answer

Working with children is what I like best about being a teacher. I am an example of the old adage that if you love what you, it's not a job. I love to see the children accomplish things that they couldn't when I first met them. It's satisfying to know that it was because of my teaching that they have made these accomplishments. One of my students came to me as a non-fluent reader in September. By December, he was reading more fluently, and not only that, but he enjoyed reading. He always had a book in his hand and wanted to show me what he could do.

Rachelle's Feedback

Your career sounds very fulfilling, indeed! The story that you include about the student is the perfect added touch. You are 'showing and telling' versus just 'telling,' which is a key to a fantastic interview response. Well done!
