I'm Appreciated!!!
Just when I hit bottom with a really crappy week I got an email from a parent who said that I was a great teacher! She told me that a few times in her child's life she has gotten special teachers who have inspired her child and who cared and that I was one of those teachers. Boy, I really needed that! I was so tired and depressed from all of the struggles and strife this week and the pain from the compressed neck nerve that I didn't know how I was going to gather the energy and drive to keep going. This was more valuable to me than all the money in the world. It is typical that I only hear from parents when they have something to complain about. This just makes my life complete!

Dear Ken,
Im glad that you got that nice comment from a parent, im sorry that you had such a bad week.. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your comment about my assault in the parking lot.. It made me feel better, because I keep somewhat blaming myself, because i am so UP on all the (crime prevention) things and here i am sorta letting it happen.. But what u said was really cool.. and it did make me feel a lot better..
THANK YOU very MUCH!!!

Thank goodness there's always little things like this to keep us going!
Seems like life has a way of knowing when we need one of those little pick me ups. That, or it's just toying with us and trying to keep us alive long enough to torment us some more, like a cat playing with a mouse:)
I prefer the former.
I can just imagine how good that felt.
Was just talking to a writing teacher on Saturday night about the feeling of satisfaction they derived from students who did really well.
Thanks for dropping by my site.
Hope your weekend was great :)
Print it out and hang it up! I keep a folder of stuff like that to look at when I'm feeling really crummy.
Hang in there, it's almost over. (We have 12 days left, how many do you have?)
