"One strength that I have is diligence. When a student is struggling, I do not cut corners with them. I will work with them as long as they are willing to work. If they do not want to work, I will work to inspire them to help them be successful. This example is who I am."

Never forget this as you teach. There will be days when your strength bcomes overwhelmed by students slacking, not paying attention, etc. But, you got this if you keep your mind focused on the prize.
