Be kind to those who do it for you

This week is Housekeeper Appreciation Week.

Did you know this?

Didn’t think so.

It makes sense. Housekeepers around campus are probably some of the most unappreciated individuals at TCU.

When you throw your piles of trash bags, class handouts, to-go containers and empty pizza boxes into the trash barrels, it is the housekeepers who take those out to the dumpster so an inconvenient smell won’t arise.

Community showers aren’t fun for anyone. Who wants to wear shoes while they try to get clean?

At the same time, who wants to clean up in the showers? Plus, there are the bathroom stalls, where people don’t always feel it’s necessary to clean up after themselves.

These are basic tasks that we take for granted on a daily basis. But the fact is that without the thankless dedication that these people put into making sure we live a clean and sanitary lifestyle, our halls would probably look like nothing less than a pig sty.

If you’re asking how can you thank the housekeepers in your halls, there are many ways to do this, but how about starting with the most basic of all?

Just say, “Thank you.”

Those two simple words help to show all that you appreciate what is done for you. It might take only seconds to do, but what are those few moments compared to the hours they put in for you?
