EXPERIENCING THE PUBLIC SERVICE
The epitome of my experience is described in the term “Service”. I consider service to be a selfless achievement every time you know in your heart that you have contributed to a good cause, you have helped someone and made life a bit easier for them. There is no measure that can quantify work done in Public Service; after all, it’s not about a figure at the bottom line, but rather the memory of someone’s experience and the lives you touch. While there are challenges along the way, at the end, it is humbling and rewarding to the heart.
