What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
My job, I get a little emotional because I just love it. My job is fun, challenging, and rewarding. I feel really lucky to have those adjectives describe what I do.
So many people I talk to, friends, peers, or family members, don't describe their jobs that way. They kind of clock in, clock out, and do what they need to do. To have a job where I'm making a difference every single day, especially in kids' lives, is far beyond anything I could have imagined.
When you have a job with purpose, something that aligns with your passion, it doesn't feel like work. That's the biggest thing I'm thankful for. I get to go into a job and most of the time, it doesn't feel like I'm working.
I'm also making a difference in young people's lives. A lot of people we hire, this is their first job ever, so they're learning how to be a person in the workforce. That presents its own challenges, of course.
But I've watched coaches, who were former kids in our program, gymnasts with us for years, grow up and then apply to become a coach. Then they go off to college. It's really cool to watch their growth as people, not just as gymnasts.
So, to have that impact on kids, on our staff, on our community, it just makes this job truly the best job in the world, I think.
