"I've never been good about bringing my classes to the library...I know I could collaborate more with the librarians here, but honestly, I just haven't had the time to do that, and I've felt a little badly about it."

"I don't do as much group work as I'd like to it's hard because a lot of students don't really know what to do around some who's disabled. It's not their fault, they're just not used to it My biggest issue is trying to gue out how to make them feel comfortable, you know?"
