Amen.

I had a little internal grump when the other TAs (full time) and the teacher were getting gifts and cards at the end of the term and I wasn't. But I remembered I am part-time, and although I work with all of the children, it is likely their parents don't know my name. And the child I am paid to look after gave me a handwritten card with a photo on, and a present.

And positive thinking meant anything I received was especially treasured - as it should be. The important thing is that card/ present or not, I really did make a difference. I totally enjoyed the task.
