When I was growing up I wanted to be a Youth Counselor. Out of all my friends and myself, there were very few people we could openly talk to about our problems without fear of reprisal (We weren’t the best of kids, and school counselors would be required by law to contact the authorities). I thought that if I provided an opportunity for kids to unload their problems and talk through difficult situations, I could help society.

Then I grew older and realized that would only be attempting to bandage a wound. The real fault lies within the cooperate world and how they have the ability to over work their employees which can cause harm to a family. So, I entered the field of Human Resources in an attempt to improve the work environment in such a manner that parents are able to receive the specific needs to complement their family life (Better benefits, shorter work weeks, additional vacation).
