I've been at my new job for almost 3 weeks now. I work at Habitat for Humanity as a Government Relations Intern. Right now the biggest project I'm working on is promoting our advocacy efforts through social media and reaching a larger audience. And honestly, I love this job and am sad it's going to be over at the end of June. So I'm making the most of it while I can.
I love working for a non-profit. That's not to say that I'd never consider working in the corporate world, but the non-profit world is so rewarding. Instead of people being driven by money, they're driven by passion. Nobody's stressed out over profits, we're stressed out because someone has nowhere to sleep at night. It's the epitome of what I believe: People matter more than profits.We do what we do to make the lives of others better, not to make ourselves millionaires. I wish there was more of that in our society, but I feel so blessed to work in such an atmosphere. God placed me somewhere where I can really see His work and blessings on a daily basis.
In addition to that, I have a GREAT boss. Not only is she hilarious and super flexible, she's incredibly admirable. For all that she's been through she is SO humble and has such a huge heart. She has an open door policy for dinner at her house, allowing homeless people to come and have a meal when they need to. She keeps pairs of gloves in her car to hand out to homeless people outside in the winter. Inside she places a $10 bill and a note that says "You are loved". That is exactly the kind of person I admire, respect, and strive to be.
