It has been a difficult semester and because I have trust and had faith in a large part of the graduating MSW students (the morning cohort) I have pushed them to be the best they could be. I don't remember this but the class speaker at graduation said the first thing I said to them as their first teacher in the program is "if you don't have a therapist, get one".

This evening I received the following email. Now I could put myself down and ask if she sent something like this to all the professors but I won't, I will just bask in being touched

Dear Prof ,
There are not enough thank you's for you ! I appreciate everything you have done for me these past 2 years!! You have inspired myself and many other graduates in many ways. So I thank you for everything you have taught me. I promise I'll make you proud !

I told her she already made me proud. This is why I do this, not to be given accolades but to know that I have helped them do the work to be people who will fight oppression and injustice and work with others in changing the world.
