Though now I'll be wondering if it's someone from head office, or one of the equally hard-working folks at the Summer school office at Loughborough...<BR/><BR/>Whoever, your comments are very kind and I'm glad you know how much the students appreciate all the hard work that is put in to giving us all such a fulfilling, nurturing and, above all, fun week.petercmoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366331102790168465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13747474.post-31710387878582914422007-08-16T17:02:00.000+01:002007-08-16T17:02:00.000+01:00I am part of the team which runs the summer school...I am part of the team which runs the summer school so declare my interest now! It's overwhelming how many people leave the week reeling from how much they have learned and achieved and it really does change lives in a very positive way. Well done Pete for all that you realised about yourself during the week and as Jo said, no one needs to be nice to you or pay compliments - they do it because they believe it. Don't forget to keep an eye on the website for photo links and also on 1st December when the new courses will be published - I look forward to seeing Clare's application alongside yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13747474.post-54971760281047619002007-08-15T15:27:00.000+01:002007-08-15T15:27:00.000+01:00I was going to post something relevant, but it tur...I was going to post something relevant, but it turned into an essay, so perhaps I'll email it instead! <BR/>Sounds amazing, I wish I had been able to come - next year I will definitely be there!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135598284349424443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13747474.post-61703817782279667072007-08-14T13:54:00.000+01:002007-08-14T13:54:00.000+01:00Aha.

You have so much going for you often you don't seem to take time to relaise just what a great guy you are.

Not because they have to and certainly not for anything they gain from me by doing so. But because they believe and mean it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697792053955724924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13747474.post-40184486969783801822007-08-13T23:51:00.000+01:002007-08-13T23:51:00.000+01:00There were a ton of things I had to say about that...There were a ton of things I had to say about that post Pete, but it all melts into insignificance after I read Jo's response.

That kind of thing never happens easily or comfortably, but it's worth it. I've had a completely different but similar experience - and it changed my life. No-one will have noticed (nor should they), but it did change my life. And it still is affecting me 4 years on.<BR/><BR/>Here's the crucial bit, though... The people around you who tell you you're doing a good job are doing that because it's true. They won't have an agenda for telling you anything other than the truth. You have a sincerity and a passion that people respect you for, and you must trust that when you're given praise and support, it's because you deserve it.<BR/><BR/>I'm so proud of you.jomoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739551320410022688noreply@blogger.com
