The Drive to be Better

I was so touched that I was almost in tears at work today. But it's my second week and it's work so I didn't cry.. but I wanted to! And let me tell you why.

I work at The Family Place and their mission is to strengthen and empower families through many means, one of them being parenting classes. Today was the first parenting class since I've started working there. They left the door open and I was able to hear just the first part of it where the instructor went over what the course was and introduced herself and I started thinking...

These parents didn't have to come tonight. They're spending their time and their money, just because they want to be better parents. And that is so wonderful! They want so badly to be better for their kids, and I just love that.

The Family Place

It's a big deal guys! On September 6, 2016 I started my first "real" job! I've had lots of other jobs - Preschools, call centers, pizza places, Taco Time, summer camp, you know. But I've never really had the opportunity to be in a professional setting and get experience in my field. Everything they do at The Family Place is something I'm passionate about. I love their mission and the atmosphere and just everything about it!

Right now I'm just the front desk receptionist so it's not like I'm a big deal or anything, but I love just being around the therapists and people who have the same passion and drive to help people as I do! I am so looking forward to see what my future holds there!
