From a hand-delivered card received yesterday:
Professor Southern Man,
I would like to take this time out to say thank you! For me being a non-traditional student there were many adjustments. You have really been an inspiration to me. I'm glad to know that there are teachers who still care. You be encouraged and keep up the good work.

I can still do this stuff, apparently. :) Needless to say, the card made my day/week/month.

When I catch myself wondering whether now's the time to quit teaching, get lipo and a boob job, and go back to exotic dancing...I get a student note like this one, and it reminds why I put up with all the bullshit.
Congrats, Southern Man. You reached one this semester--and probably quite a few more who were just too timid to send a note.
That is the first note of thanks I have received in 9-10 years. I wish they came more often, but I'll take 'er. :)
