Question by Cassi(!): Working with children with troubles?
I’m in high school, but I’m trying to look into careers.

One thing I’ve noticed I’ve always loved is helping people. ‘Specially people who’re troubled (Cancer patients, abused, neglected, down syndrome, ect.) Ick- that sounds awful, but I mean it with absolute kindness. I’ve suffered through eating disorders and abuse in my lifetime, and I would love to be able to help people with things I’ve gone through- because I look back and I wish i had someone to help me with my problems. Mainly I want to help kids and elderly- but adults as well.
So what would you consider the “dream job” for me?

Thank you! (:
