Personally, my curiosity is what keeps me going. I want to learn more; certainly, there is more information out there than I can learn and comprehend in a lifetime, but I'm too curious to quit learning. To that end, I want to pass that curiosity on to as many young people as possible. As a future teacher, I want my desire to learn to be infectious. That's another thing that keeps me going--all the young minds out there that need a helping hand.
I have a quote from Socrates in my blog that I often think about: "The unexamined life is not worth living." For me, learning lessons is not just about books and classes, but about looking at my own life and seeing what it has taught me, and growing in a positive direction based on what I've learned.
