When working as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, you will teach patients how to reduce stress, depression, and anxiety. You will also teach them how to integrate into society and adapt to certain activities after becoming disabled. Explain to the interviewer what part of your career you like most so they can see what motivates you as a teacher and if your values align with the company culture.

"What I like most about a career in teaching is seeing my patients improve their mental health by following the methods I teach them. When I have a patient who is depressed, anxious, and has suicidal thoughts and I see them recover and enjoy life, that is by far the best part of my job."
