A parent's excitement is contagious and validating

Today I met with a new client, a fifteen year old homeschooler who is hoping to transfer into Watauga High School next year.  I love meeting new clients and creating a plan to help them be successful.  But I also really enjoyed getting to know this mom a little better.  She is so excited about High Country Academy.  And I have to admit that her excitement was contagious.  She kept saying over and over that there is such a need for this kind of service.  Wow!  Thank you so much.  Validation is a great thing.  Oh, and did I mention that I have a meeting with a potential new client tomorrow?  Yes, that's two this week!  And one more thing, today's new student is going to start reading The Hunger Games.  Yay!  I've had so much success with that book turning reluctant middle school readers into avid middle school readers.  And that my friend makes a teacher's heart smile.
