Today we had to complete mandatory training for New York State regarding our duties as mandated reporters. On days like these, our school principal brings out the wheel of prizes for the staff, with prizes ranging from "go outside and pick up three pieces of garbage" to "win a gift box". In the four years I have worked there, I've never won anything. Today I won a gift box. I feel so appreciated!
The box says, "Sometimes you forget that you're awesome so this is your reminder." It contained a recycle bag, a pen that says, "You're awesome!", a travel mug, and a bottle of semi-dry red wine. Life is good!
