“I think the best part about being a teacher is seeing how many different lives you impact. Sometimes it takes years. You see a student you haven’t had in 10 years and they come up to you and they have a conversation; that impact that we have on many [ students] lives can help shape the world. Obviously that’s the main goal for what I would hope a lot of people in teaching, but I feel like that it is hard to see when you’re in the moment, but you can find that if you teach long enough. I come to different insights. [I] focus in on what I find to be important, and what we need as a society and culture. Right now, we need more interactions with each other. And unfortunately, we’re dealing with a situation where there’s a lot of impersonal contact that we have. Part of it stems from our technology; we can also lay some blame on our current situation with COVID. I worry about those aspects and students’ abilities to socialize and work together.” – Brian Welch, librarian
