“I just love getting to see that spark on the kids’ face when they finally get something, you know? Like the excitement and pride when they’ve been working hard and it finally clicks. It’s super rewarding getting to know I’m helping them learn and prepare for their futures, you know?”

She grinned. "Absolutely. That's so cool. It's part of why I'm working on being a professor, too."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik

"What about you, Meyer?" She looked to Meyer as Martin headed back into the kitchen. "Why'd you get into your line of work?"

“Ah, mine was sheer opportunity,” Meyer said. “I’m happy enough with it, but it wasn’t a passion. Just a job I worked my way up.”

“Hmm… honestly, not sure if I have one?” Meyer shrugged. “I’ve never really been one of those people with big plans for the future. I just like being comfortable enough financially to do what I want when I’m not at work. A job is more of a necessary evil to me than a calling.”

Meyer nodded as well, reaching over to take Sadie’s hand and give it a squeeze. “I certainly admire people like you all, though. It’s great to be able to see you’re making a difference.”

“I disagree,” Meyer said with a little smile. “I see how Sadie slaves over her grading and lesson plans and I’m sure you do the same. Blood, sweat, literal tears sometimes. Your dedication to investing in others is admirable.”

"Definitely some tears involved for all of us," she chuckled. "Work is exhausting."

“True that.” Meyer nodded. “So what about when you’re not working? Any hobbies?”

"Well, I read a lot, even when I'm not doing classes, and I love to write."
