I am grateful for my job and the things i am able to learn on a daily basis not only form the clients we serve, but also for the staff i work with. there is never a day i wouldn't want to go to work. Even in the mist of  an epidemic like the corona virus, i am able to see joy and remain in relatively good spirit although things are not necessarily going my way or the way i would like for them to go. although i have had a tougher time dealing with stress lately, due to overthinking i am trying to look at this epidemic as a teaching moment. 

my program was hit hard with the outbreak of covid 19,with all the residents infected, and all staff except two infected. I worry about those of who i may have passed it along too. I am scared i may have given it to my parents. conversations with them keep me calm also lets me know that they are well. Although i am quarantined at work, serving/ helping someone other than my self seems to get rid of a lot of my anxiety/ depression.  I was given the option of taking time off, That definitely wasn't an option for me. I would have drove my self insane with worry. I am grateful that my job allowed the staff to quarantine with the residents, because other wise i would be in very bad mental state.

My job has done so much to make sure that everyone clients and staff included are comfortable. they continue to do so on a daily basis.  I am also grateful, that they understand that this news inst easy on anybody. The people at my job  go above and beyond with compensation/ needs that the staff request.  my employer is also on top of the things that we request for to better serve our clients. plenty of ppe equipment has been given. there are alot of measures in place to check everyone temperature and well being so that things never get too serious.
