My father worked for North Suffolk and Turning Point for over 20 years, putting my sister and me through college with his dedication. He introduced us to this field, where we learned to treat those we serve with empathy, compassion, and patience. We also learned to create engaging activities, cook, and teach hygiene. Before earning my business degree and moving into sales, these jobs were crucial in my development. I miss this type of work and its meaningful impact.
