YMCA

YMCA All my life I’ve been career-oriented. When other girls were playing with dolls and planning weddings, I was reorganizing office supplies and imagining my corporation taking over the industry. Needless to say I’ve been excited about joining the American workforce since I could read and when I finally got the opportunity to do so I was hit with the shock of a life-time. I envisioned my first job to be one behind a cash resister or a computer but when times got hard I took the first job available to me, and it made all the difference. Working with kids was something that I never considered. I didn’t mind kids but I never pictured myself as the kind of person that had the patients and understanding to deal with them on a regular basis. I took a job as an after-school care counselor for the YMCA despite my uncertainty because I needed it. After working with my kids for 4 months, I thank my director for seeing something in me that I didn’t know I had. I never would have imagined that I would learn more about myself and about responsibility on a playground rather than an office.
