Thursday after school, I was visited by a set of parents with a gift for me. Just a token of their appreciation, they said. I hope they know how much that meant. Then 5 minutes later one of the Dads came in saying thanks for supporting their son in making his First Eucharist. He made a point of showing his family's appreciation of the teachers coming to the mass Saturday night and being there for the kids. I went home that night feeling great, supported in my work and appreciated. I get a lot of intrinsic satisfaction from my job, and the kids always give you plenty of extrinsic. It's really great to know the parents think I'm doing an alright job too. I guess everybody needs feedback....
