What was your first job, and what did it teach you about yourself?

My first job out of college was as a Parent Outreach Coordinator at a nonprofit, where I collaborated with a mental health team. The role taught me that, at the core of our efforts for social justice, are real people with lots of different needs. In my day to day work, I try to keep in mind the people we're working for.
