The Warm Shelter

_____As I looked deeper under the surface today, I noticed that the people were extremely courteous to me. When I first walked in, a man outside with a cigarette turned to me and said said, "your back again! Man, you should get an A+ on this for working so hard," and these few words showed me how grateful he was for helping to feed his hungered stomach. A little bit later, I was serving right after the big rush had passed and a woman came up and asked who my teacher was. I told her Mr. H. Salsich was in charge of the assessment project and she then said, "I should write him a letter to tell him how hard your working." She was absolutely serious about this, but some people came in so she had to go sit down. After that, at around 6:00 pm, a man came up and said we could go and thanked me for my "exceptional service", and that he would finish serving and clean up. This was his way of thanking me for all my hard work so I got my coat and headed for the door. As I passed another lady, she stopped me and also thanked me, and then I left. These people are full of gratitude and are always willing to share their thanks with me.
