I don't think my family is as thrilled about the work that I'm doing as I am. When I excitedly try to tell stories of my job, I tend to get strange looks or blank stares. My mom thinks my job is depressing. My grandmother wants to know if I'm emotionally capable of doing it. "You don't want to do this forever do you?"
I just don't get it. I think it's so interesting and fulfilling. Sure, there are sad cases and quite a few intense moments, but I actually like it. Is that so weird? I told my grandma, "So far, I'm handling it pretty well. I don't take it home with me. I know that God's giving me the strength to be in this field and that this is where I'm supposed to be right now." She kind of nodded like sure, right.
It's probably just because they are protective of me. But I do wish that they would get excited with me! I am learning so much and receiving invaluable training. It's not always a pretty job, but I would take it over a cubicle any day.
