So, for those interested ...... the story of my life! Which is one of the reasons I've become so attached to THIS forum. When I first entered the "Caring Profession" in 1975, I'd had aspirations towards eventually training to be a Social Worker (my MAIN reasons for taking the preliminary qualifications mentioned earlier). However, my ambitions were thwarted by my bosses - who [rightly or wrongly] concluded that I would most likely over-involve myself in trying to help the less-fortunate element of Society ... to the detriment of my own family - whom HE believed would hardly ever see me as a result.
HERE though, on the forum, I have the opportunity to put those hitherto unfulfilled opportunities into practice - by being of service to others - based on my own personal experiences!! And THAT, my friends, has, in turn, led me to derive far greater "job satisfaction" than at any time in my entire working life!Simply to conjure up the elation ... the happy, smiling faces of fellow members who've obtained visas against seemingly impossible odds - and knowing I've played a part (however small) in their success - is more than "reward" enough!
