A Thread for Good News

This is a great story I read this morning from the inspiremore.com website. It was in my newsletter with several other stories so I copied it here instead of linking to the newsletter. I know it’s tough right now for people that have family members in assisted living and are unable to visit them. It always makes me feel good when I read about someone finding a solution to that problem. For this young woman, it solved two problems.

"I have my BA in graphic design. The job I currently have is working in long-term care. This job is not sitting in front of a computer all day. It’s being on my feet all day, averaging 15,000 steps a shift. It’s hard work.

"I get looks of confusion when my coworkers find out I’m not a nursing student but a graphic designer. I get told at least twice a day that I went to school for the wrong profession, that I should be a nurse. I get asked why I took a job that I’m 'over qualified' for, because you don’t need a 4-year university degree to do this job.

"My answer is this little lady right here. I had to move back to Canada and was out of a job back in March, due to COVID-19. No one was hiring graphic designers. So I took this job, not in my field, in the midst of a global pandemic so I could hug my grandma (I’m the only person in my family that can do that right now). I took this job to help instead of just sitting at home feeling bad for my displaced, unemployed self.

"I am not just a graphic designer. I’m a human being who loves to create but also care for others."
