A bit off topic.

Hi everyone!

This post is a bit different. 

I was wondering what were your reason for choosing a caring profession for yourselves? 

Maybe some of you were carers since early on?

I chose this career because like many people in the helping profession, I've struggled and experienced personal difficulties. This made me a lot more empathetic and thinking about our society as a whole. I've helped myself before deciding to help others. I'm in a good place now and have been for many years. I feel like this experience make me a stronger and a more competent, understanding and helpful (future) social worker.
