Worth It

I work ridiculously long hours. I work weird hours. I work weekends. I work 24 hour shifts. I work when I'm told to and quit when I'm told to. I go to work before the sun comes up, and I come home after the sun comes down.

 

I'm exhausted. I'm worn out. I'm frustrated. I'm all around broken down and tired.

 

But you know what makes my job worth it? When a former Soldier texts me this:

 

 

I'm appreciated. I'm needed. I'm a role model. I'm a mentor. I'm a leader.

 

Worth it.
