Relationship Boost: Keep In Touch
One of the easiest ways to boost your relationships, whether it may be with a friend, family member, colleague, etc., is to keep in touch. This may seem like a simple act with minimal effect, but it will truly enhance any of your relationships from those with whom you are the closest to casual acquaintances.
One of our FMPR Scholars has kept in touch with us regularly for years. We ask each of our recipients to send us an update of their schooling at the end of the year that they received our award. So they are only required to contact us once. This didn't stop this one particular Scholar from keeping in touch after every semester as she pursued her degree. We loved receiving the letters from her. Her mom would also email us updates and photos from time to time. When they wrote, they would always express gratitude for our scholarship. Because we developed a relationship with her and her mother over the years as they continued to reach out to us, we decided to award her with an additional scholarship. This individual has become so special to us, and we'll do whatever we we can to help her succeed. Our feelings for her were cultivated through her constant communication with us.
