My Career Goal

The idea came to me last night while on the bus. I've decided as a Child And Youth worker, it would give a better understanding of the world around me. After a few years as one I'd like to eventually (and hopefully) create a Boys And Girls Club branch in the Philippines. Filipinos like my mother grew up in an environment where they could have used a place to be with children and be themselves.

Honestly I prefer not to go into details of how badly children world wide could benefit from youth centers such as The Boys And Girls Club. When I was a volunteer I saw kids enjoying themselves with adults and connecting in a way that helps them grow. It felt good to be part of that albeit for a while.

The Boys And Girls Club of Winnipeg helped open my eyes and yearn to be part of that environment. Part of me can never stop saying 'thank-you' enough times. To this day I still love and cherish the friendship that almost like a family, almost like a love affair. Creating a Boys And Girls Club in the Philippines would be my way sharing that kind of love and passing it along to others. Out of the few things I know it's that love is something you give away and yet keep getting more in return.
