Working with boys with behavioral issues is challenging. Why do you keep coming back?
What keeps me coming back is the bond and relationships that I have gained with our boys. Each boy is different, and I honestly feel blessed to be a part of their story and knowing that I am doing something that matters.
What do you hope to gain personally by working with our boys?
I hope to continue to gain relationships, knowledge, and patience from working with our boys. Just as well as they are learning and needing from me, I can learn and need from them every day.
What have you learned that you didn’t know before working at The Genesis Project?
I have learned how much trauma can hold and affect our boys’ growth and mental state. I have learned that one day our boys can be fine and the next day they won’t be. I have learned that there will always be ups and downs, but the ups make it all worth it.
When you describe The Genesis Project to people you know, what is the one thing you want them to know about our organization and our clients?
One thing I tell people about working at Genesis is how much these boys mean to me, and how good it feels working somewhere you can make a difference. It’s a blessing to be a blessing.
Other thoughts or comments about working at The Genesis Project
I want to thank Genesis for helping me find my purpose and be the nurturing and caring person that I am.
