“I love seeing the figurative lightbulb go off in a student’s head and watching their face light up when they’ve realized something new. I also love witnessing a student accomplish something new, like writing a long research paper or reading a complex text, and watching them discover that they are capable of doing the high-level work we are asking of them.”
