Ok, so I know being prideful isnt maybe one of the best qualities we are supposed to possess and all that BUT I have to post that I just feel a ickLe bit proud of the award I received today.
I was meant to go to an awards ceremony on Monday night, but sadly I had to work and couldn't possibly get cover. (Suffice to say I could have probably made a bigger effort to find help so I could go, but honestly, do i look like the sort of person to go to these type of things?!).
Anyway, I recieved thecertificate in the post the other week, and somebody else picked my medal type thing up on my behalf, so I got it today.
The award is presented to a range of young ish people for a variety of things. My 18-25 bracket and the award I won was for "outstanding achievement".
I have to celebrate this somewhere. I would have done this with my old supervisor, but she isnt here any more, so here I am blogging.
And I dont consider myself to be full of it all the time, but I have to say, again. I do feel slightly proud that I achieved something :)
Also, just to make my day complete I turned up the under 8's session I help run once a week, My only thing in my work I do with that age group and onen of the children presented me with a card. A home made card with myself and the other leader on the front, drawn, and a thankyou for all we do written in by her and her mum. I was touched. Its going on my office wall so the next time I moan about having to head to this event, I will feel more positive. I do love what I do, mostly. And I dont do it for the thank you's. To be honest, they very rarely come. So, when one does, out of the blue, totally un expected from an unexpected person, its just touching.
Ok, I will stop burbling now.
I am still tired by the way. But, its been a good day.
