Despite the daily psychological pressure this job brings, working with disabled people is one of the best career experiences I’ve ever had. Since I started this job, I feel like I became a better person.
That is a bold and somewhat unrefined claim. Let me tell you where it’s coming from: I’ve always been searching for that feeling of now I’m doing enough. When I was a student, I believed I was wasting a lot of money without making a difference in the world. As soon as I graduated, I realized: it was the time to start making a difference. I could get a well-paid job and start giving a lot to charities, or I could become part of a group of people who make life better for others by helping them directly. I chose the second option, and I firmly believe this experience is making me a better person by the day.
