"Aren't You Glad You Know Me?"

Sounds kind of snotty doesn't it?

In my work life....my job as a media specialist in an elementary school of more than 600 people is all about helping people find the things they need and solve their problems!

This can be daunting....
It is often hectic....
But it is always rewarding!

The title of this post comes from the time I helped a student find the "lost" research paper on her computer.....
She had spent 2 weeks of painful work creating her masterpiece....
And....it JUST DISAPPEARED!
When we found it....I jokingly asked her...."Aren't you glad you know me?"
Her response was a heartfelt "YES!"
Talk about heartwarming and rewarding!



Now I don't say this out loud too often.... (well not too often)
But I do think about it when the stress of the job is getting to me....

Is what I am doing making someone "glad they know me?"
If so....I am doing my job!

Take a minute to think about all of the people that would give that same heartfelt "YES" if you asked them the same question!
I bet there are lots!
In fact....make a list!
It is bound to make you glad you know YOU!
