What hit me right between the eyes was the way he looked at us in silence for a moment or two and then said "think about why you want to be a teacher. And if you can't give me a reason, give up this course right now."
Someone said a very similar thing to us about why we wanted to be doctors. You have to have a reason, and a good one, otherwise you'd fall apart or drop out or both. I imagine it's much the same on your course.
For me, the reason is the Gandhi quote: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
