The following is a quote from my supervisor when I wasn't sure if i was in the right career field anymore. I work with people with developmental disabilities.

Some people set out in this field to make a difference, but for all the wrong reasons. They want to have fun, feel that they are a better person for helping, start a revolution – nonetheless it is for their own selfish reasons. What they don’t realize is that at some point they will make a break through. They will touch a heart, a soul, a life – forever. At that very moment they will be hooked, but will still be there for all the wrong reasons. Set out to touch lives and then fulfill selfish reasons. You’ll get a lot further. You’ll make a difference!
