This upcoming week is my last week at my current job. I was given lovely little gifts and notes by the teens with whom I currently work, and I have written thank-you cards. I am wondering, do I use my home address as the return address, or should I use my employer (a public institution) as the return address.Easy Ways to Support the Troops During the Holidays. I am using personal thank-you cards and my own stamps.
First, with all the talk of incivility and rudeness, especially about teens, I revel in your story: teens writing thank-you notes and giving small gifts showing their appreciation for what you have done for them. For all the good things teens — and people of all ages — do for each other, what we usually hear about is the one story of rudeness, which, like a bad apple, spoils all the good ones that are out there.
Your choice to send a thank-you note to each teen is admirable. Receiving a thank-you note from you is a great object lesson for them. The thank-you note is really an easy and effective way to connect with people and make a positive impression. It can be short — three to five sentences. Write it right away; the next day is perfect. Stick to the point: Comment about the person, the event, or the gift; offer an expression of thanks; and suggest any follow-up you plan to do.
