When your time on earth is over, to the extent that people remember you fondly, and are changed for having known you, you have made a difference.  I rest all of my hopes on the upbringing of my children.  If I am a good father, and I believe I am, my children will be positively affected throughout their lives by the values I have taught and the examples I have provided.  I also try to do so through various mentorship programs for those whose reality would be darker but for my involvement.  I am satisfied that my involvement in all of these people's lives will have made a difference, and that they are better off having known me than they would have been otherwise.

To have done something that has bettered the lives of some people in some positive way...The Noble Prize for example publicly recognizes an achievement.\nAs a teacher and Educator, I hope my teaching has meant something to those who I have taught, and that I have helped them be better because of my teaching and because of what they learnt through me.........\nIt does not have to be publicly acknowledged...many Missionaries and Volunteers give much to those they help, and never get singled out, and there are many who support research and Charity...the Unsung Heroes\nWe all help others as much as we can...and that in itself is a great personal achievement...

The same thing I'm doing now; being kind to people. Change starts locally so I'm just being as kind as I can to the people around me. I also pick up trash when I can. Have a good one.

Just say "Thank you".  Don't try to minimize your accomplishment by saying you were lucky, etc.  Don't boast or talk on about what you did.  Just say thanks.  It sounds humble and respectful of both the person extending the compliment and of yourself.

Substitute "I" for "we". Each of us has to do our part. Does my little bit help? You bet! If enough of us do our part to protect the environment then "we" can make a difference. But it begins on a personal level. With "I".

Write him/her a letter telling him/her how he/she has helped you, impacted your life in a positive way, and how you will use those lessons in the future.  Just knowing that as a teacher, you have made an impact, is the BEST gift that can be gotten.

Since it's for his portfolio, and no one in particular, It should be addressed to "Whom it may concern." \n\nDescribe exactly what he did. You know, what responsibilities or duties he had, and how well he filled them. Describe him as a person. What qualities did he contribute? What impact did he have? How did he change or improve your program? Use adjectives! If there was any special situation or event that stands out in your memory, that is positive, of course, write about that. \n\nBasically, try think of whatever you might tell someone about this person, and write it in this letter.\n\nHope this helps!

Be honest and up front with him. Just tell him you enjoy having things the way there are for now. Tell him it may change in the future. In the end he will be more thankful to you for being honest.
