I encourage everyone to take a few moments to thank those everyday heroes that you encounter each day. It costs you nothing except for a few seconds of time, and it is priceless what you are doing for the person. You are validating them! We all want and need to be validated. As an educator, when I would receive a note, letter, email or verbal compliment from a parent, student, administrator, or other staff member. It was like giving me a million-dollar bonus!!!
