I'm an art teacher, which means that the classroom teachers are responsible for picking up their students from my class. One grade of teachers knows my lunch is right after their class and see that as an invitation to take a few extra minutes because I don't teach a class directly after it. There is one teacher who is always on time. It means a lot to me. Since it is the end of the school year I made sure to write her a nice card explaining how much I appreciated it and how her effort didn't go unnoticed.
In the TV show Six Feet Under one of the characters says "I think that every once in awhile a person should get what they want, when they want it. Keeps you optimistic." I think if people kept this thought with them and actively tried to do nice things for each other the world would be just a tiny bit better.
