Award recipient says honor reinforces commitment to students
Summary
An award recipient told meeting attendees the recognition reminded them why they work with children and hoped it would encourage colleagues to persevere during difficult times.
An award recipient told meeting attendees that receiving the honor reaffirmed their commitment to children and their work. "The award means so much to me personally. First of all, I'm very humbled by receiving it," the award recipient said.
The recipient described the recognition as a reminder of purpose and a morale boost. "It means a lot because I really work hard and I really love my kids. I have a passion for being here. So receiving the award just reminds me that, you know, I'm here for a reason and that the kids are receiving it, people are seeing it, and it feels really good," the award recipient said.
The recipient said they hoped the recognition would encourage colleagues to continue through difficult periods and to keep students central to their work. "Professionally, I am hoping that others are encouraged to continue to actually, you know, persevere through it. When things get rough, we still have our kids and that's always our priority," the award recipient said.
They closed by urging persistence and reminding listeners of the impact small acts can have on students. "We're here for a reason. Like, just being that face, even if it's just 1 person that we can push. Just being that person to remind them that we can do it even when those times are tough. We got this," the award recipient said.
The transcript did not specify the award name, the presenter, the recipient's full name, or the event date.
