I would like to begin this entry with a quote by Anthony Robbins. “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” While thinking about this quote I realized that life truly is a gift often left unappreciated. Being able to assist someone in the process of creating life is a tremendously rewarding opportunity. As I get older, I think more and more about starting a family of my own. I have begun to understand the joy children can bring to others lives. Because of this, I am so happy to be doing what I do.
Although the work I do is mostly processing and shipping specimens, I still feel that at the end of the day I am making a difference in somebody’s life. Not many people get to say that about their job. It is especially rewarding to receive cards from families that have gone through our program to select their donor and move forward in creating their family. Seeing the genuine smiles on their faces, knowing that I had some small part in that process is extremely gratifying. I can only imagine how it must feel to the donors to be able to directly help a family be able to conceive. As corny as it may sound, life truly is the greatest gift someone can give and I am so happy to be part of a company that is able to do that.
