Reflective Essay Preparation 8: Work

This past week I started working. I am a junior counselor at the YMCA and I love my job. However I now understand the phrase if you love what you're doing you'll never have to work a day in your life. While I really enjoy my job and most of it was fun, there were moments of  work. For the first time I really felt responsible. I mean I've had to be responsible for myself before but if I failed at my duties I would be the only one hurt. Now if I mess up my failure affects children whose parents relied on me to take care of them. I feel like this past week I have been more careful while carrying out my responsibilities than I have ever been before. I have blossomed into a person who realizes how their actions affect others and is more responsible.
