Years into his career, Nichols finds the deepest satisfaction not just in the content, but in seeing his students suddenly grasp a complex idea. He teaches not only history but also economics, which often provides the most visible breakthroughs. "I think, you know, when I'm trying to think of a specific memory, I have so many," Nichols said. "But in the classroom, it's the aha moments, right? Lots of times, because I teach economics as well, students suddenly realize and get a concept, and then they connect that to their personal life. I think that's really exciting for me."
