What You Like Most About Your Job:
It’s knowing that every morning when I awake that its a new day and there are going to be more challenges that are going to end on a postive side. I feel as though I would never be able to give back to the consumers the enjoyment that they allow me to feel by the accomplishments each of them make everyday. Knowing that assisting each person to, in some way, achieve their goals, by working on building skills and teaching self advocacy is the most rewarding job that I could ask for.
