It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Before I worked for SoonerStart, I worked for Family & Children's Services, and I found myself drawn back to that agency.....for so many reasons. I'm thrilled to be back there, and can't wait to see the opportunities I will have to grow both personally and professionally.
F&CS is an awesome agency in Tulsa that seeks to help all those that need it. It has become known as a premier agency for serving the clients of Tulsa. Did you know that 1 in 6 Tulsa citizens has benefited in some way from F&CS? What a statistic? And, I get the opportunity to go back to that and make a difference....in the lives of a bunch of kids and workers.
I'll be working for the Early Childhood Program department and I can't wait to see all that lies in front of me! I'm thrilled beyond belief at the opportunity, and I've been working on reading some good John C. Maxwell books on Leadership. I'll have my first role as a Supervisor, one in which I'm thrilled and going to do my best to model those excellent supervisor's I've had in the past.
I'll try to take pictures of my new office and cool building when I get there, but I don't know what the next week looks like. I'm along for the ride, and can't wait to get going up the hill!
I'll try to post how things are going for me, but for now, know that I'm thrilled and I feel like I came home when I walked back into that Central Office. It's a great feeling to be wanted, appreciated, and to work for an agency like them, it's an absolute honor!
And, I thought I'd let you know some about their core beliefs, of which I have always felt that I've carried them as a person as well regarding my work habits.
