appreciate

I can't think of what it would take for me to feel appreciated this year. Some of this year's batch of students take me and my easy-going nature for granted. It's not things I want. It's genuine appreciation. I'd like to feel more respected. I'd like them to quit bitchin' about every single thing I have them do in class.

Hmmmmm... I must think about this further. What would it look like? What would it feel like?
