The interviewer wants to hear what motivates you to continue on, even when the going gets tough. Consider what has helped you during college or in a previous job. Maybe you respond well to incentive systems, or you enjoy being publicly praised, or you feel a lot of pride after a job well done. Maybe you feel most appreciated when a colleague notices you going the extra mile and lets you know. Whatever it is, be specific and share it honestly with the interviewer.

"I am motivated by recognition of my work. I feel valued and motivated when my work is recognized and celebrated. I am also motivated by work-related incentives and growth. However, I am mostly intrinsically motivated because I want to succeed and see my students succeed as well."
