Hello... today has definitely been one of those days. I forgot my code to get in the building and started work on facebook and parent profiles for adoptive couples and I completely forgot to set up their email so the confirmations went nowhere :( But it is actively being fixed and will be fine in no time! And since I was all alone upstairs today things were very quiet. I cleaned up some posters on the walls so we can bring them down. I worked on some Gladney Parent Profiles which I managed to not mess up!! Thank goodness. Then I helped keyword some of our photos from special events we've done. Well the weekend is upon us, and my birthday (which is sunday!!) will be here very soon so I'm really excited. Once again, enjoyed my day at Gladney today!!
Well, it is the beginning of my second full week here at Gladney as an intern, and it has been wonderful! I think that my favorite part about being here, besides the free cake that randomly shows up in the break room, is the people that are here. I have felt continually supported by each person I come in contact with. Each time I ask a question, or look lost, I am anwered with a smiling face and a helpful attitude! So, thank you Gladney staff! :) As I am typing this, I am overhearing a conversation with a caseworker and one of their clients, and the caseworker is getting to tell the family that they will be able to travel to visit a child in the next month! On the phone the mother started crying at the thought of, possibly , seeing their new baby in a month...and then I started crying as I recognized how special and personal this work is. What is done here touches lives, not only the families lives, but the staff's (and intern's) as well! That family will be changed from today ...
