As I look back and reflect on my experience, I realize that Daily Work differs from other<br />

social services organizations in several ways. For example, when I first entered their<br />

office I expected more of the same; to be shuffled through the system and treated like a<br />

number, not a person.<br />

I was so wrong. Although Daily Work offers a lot of the same services as other help<br />

agencies, they work with me and ALL their clients as people first. Because I was treated<br />

as a human being with potential and value, it made a world of difference to my selfesteem.<br />

Daily Work sees my eagerness to return to being a productive member of the workforce<br />

and continues to support me in achieving my career goals. Right now, I am volunteering<br />

as an “intern” at Daily Work by working on the website, posting on social media, and<br />

even writing this blog post. This internship is giving me the skills and experience I need<br />

to get back in the workforce in my chosen field, graphic design and communications.<br />
