Involvement

To be listened to is nice, but to be listened to and taken seriously is wonderful. I was not sure what to expect when I was told, "At three I need to you to go downstairs and have a meeting about how you think today went." As it turns out, it was pretty cool. Not once had I actually been to a legitimate meeting that would actually have some sort of effect. Ideas are listened to carefully and my opinion mattered. Preparation for the future? I think so.
