One of my favorite aspects of being a TA is just how interactive it is with the students. I love how students will learn physiology either during or before taking the lab, and then they can just apply everything they've learned to a more clinical-based setting, and so it's just cool that they're using their hands, they're making friends, they're doing things that help solidify their own knowledge of physiology, and it makes it more interesting and just fun. And so I just love being there, and it's also helping me learn physiology better and solidify the material, so it's just, it's a good way to learn.

One of my favorite aspects about being a teaching assistant is that you get to help other students, you get to help them have an enjoyable experience in a class and you get to be a part of that learning process for them.
