Going home after a day’s work knowing you have helped a child achieve something they never felt possible, and will remember their whole life, or watching a child stand up a bit straighter when they are praised by their peers, or seeing the look on a teacher’s face when the group works together like a dream; What could be more rewarding or satisfying as a job?
