Highest Compliment you can get

Last week I was in charge of a celebration night at my school. I had to plan games, activities, power points,projects, performance, food, etc. Regardless I was very stressed and very very busy for a couple of days. The day of the night I had about ten kids that stayed after school till 8:30 at night helping me with everything. I became very bossy. Go there, do this, set up this, go get me a water, go yell at this person, it was command after command. And after awhile I feel really really bad about it.

So after we cleaned up and were walking out I said to one of the students that I was sorry for being so bossy. She said it wasn't a problem and she didn't see it that way. She didn't think I was being bossy and then she said, "I did everything you asked me to without question because you have my complete respect and so I am always going to do what you say." I was touched and it is the highest complete somebody could give me. I was so touched and then I thought even more about it.
