Last week we cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner for the custodial staff at our school. Once we had all of the ingredients we needed we began to cook, which took about 3 hours. Although never once did it occur to me that I was working. The happiness and motivation of the people around me not only made the work easier, but reminded me of why I love this program so much.
After we had cooked and served our meal, we left so that the custodial staff could eat without us bothering them. However, within a few minutes we were called back and invited to sit down with them and share the meal we had prepared. Honestly it was one of the best and most fun meals I have eaten in a really long time. These are the days when I feel as though I get more out of the program than I could ever really put into it.
