In episode 2 of our GTA (Graduate Teaching Associate) series, I discuss why I wanted to be a graduate teaching associate, in charge of leading my own Public Speaking course for lower division college students. I talk about where my passion from teaching stemmed from and how it translated into my experience as a first time college professor. I talk primarily about the motives behind teaching as well as offer some reasons to become a teacher for all those future instructors, tutors, assistants, TAs, teachers, professors, and more.
