This is a challenging week for me. It's the middle of the semester and things are piling up. Even so, sometimes it's hard for me to be motivated to do my best work. But today, I received a letter from my supervisor at work. The letter was about a nomination for a student employee award. I was speechless. I felt that I almost didn't deserve such recognition. But in the end, it motivated me to continue to be the best library assistant I could be. I didn't realize that the work I did was so appreciated.
Private appreciation, like a letter or a note, means more to me than public appreciation, like some sort of award. I am grateful to know my work is appreciated by my supervisor. It made my day and got me thinking more deeply about my career goals for after my college graduation.
