The interviewer wants to know what keeps you going in this career. There are days that are going to be difficult and the interviewer wants to you have a reason for coming back every day. You will need to find out what drives you to do what you do, it doesn't have to be a huge answer.
Take time to think about why you do what you do. Does the light in the eye of a child finally learning a new skill what drives you or maybe being the adult in their life that will always be there to listen? To make it easier to answer this question, think about a time where you saw the difference you were making in a child's life and talk about that time.
"I was working for an after school tutoring program for struggling freshmen. Last year I ran into the student at the grocery store, she graduated from high school and is off to college. Back when I was working with her, she didn't believe in herself and was only passing one class. She thanked me for my help and told me how she didn't know where she would be without the help she received. When working with youth you sometimes don't see the results right away, but later down the road they see how efforts made. The most rewarding part for me is seeing them succeed."
