Why I love my job:

I love waking up each day knowing that I am somehow helping out kids, whether it's by boosting their confidence in a difficult therapy session at the hospital or by taking good care of them and teaching them all I can while their parents are at work. Because these kids are our future, giving them guidance and hope is one of the most important jobs I can imagine, so I'm proud to be a part of that.
