At the first teacher meeting of the new school year, my principal had agendas laid out at every seat. Located on top of each small stack of papers, was a little, polished metalic slug with a word etched into it. I sat down at a seat with the word “rejoice”.
That is going to be my word for the year. I think I’ll put it in the top of my desk drawer so that I will be reminded of it everytime I open it.
