The Power of Relationships: "I Love Having You in My Life"

Relationships are the foundation of success in life, school, and work. Whether it's between teachers and students, teammates, friends, or colleagues, strong relationships create an environment where people feel valued, supported, and motivated.

Research highlighted in Education Week shows that positive teacher-student relationships lead to better academic outcomes, improved classroom behavior, and even lower dropout rates. When students feel connected to their teachers, they are more engaged and willing to take risks in their learning. The same is true in friendships, sports teams, and workplaces—when people feel seen and appreciated, they are more likely to succeed.

That’s why a simple phrase like "I love having you in my class" or "I love having you on my team" carries so much weight. It reinforces a sense of belonging and reminds others that they are valued. Whether you're a teacher, coach, friend, or leader, taking the time to build strong relationships can have a lasting impact.

So, who in your life needs to hear it today? "I love having you in my life." It might be just what they need to thrive.
