I don't believe that the profession I'm in makes as much of a difference as it says it does to most people. Sure, there are a few people that are really positively impacted by my job-- I was definitely one of those kids for sure, heavily influenced positively. But all in all, I think it wouldn't matter too much to too many people if it was someone else doing my job and not me.
Cynical? Perhaps. Realistic? Definitely.
Tomorrow, however, I have a former "client" coming to visit me. I still don't think that it's one of those "made a difference" stories, but it's nice to know that 5 years after this person left my work, he still wants to keep in touch.
Tomorrow evening, too, I'm hoping to visit with one of my mentors... I'm feeling strangely full circle... and it kind of freaks me out.
