Best Job EVER!

I just wanna give a shout out to the best place of employment and Co-workers a girl could ever ask for!  My family at Wasatch Mental Health and particularly The American Fork Family Clinic are some of the best people I will ever know.  I have been a part of Wasatch since I was 15 wee years old when I worked as a summer worker organizing storage rooms and laminating things.  When I graduated from high school I started as a part time receptionist in the Provo Youth Outpatient.  I worked there for about a year then quit to move to Alaska for the summer.  I left knowing that there may not be a job for me when I returned that fall but lo and behold there was!  The full time secretary in American Fork Youth Outpatient had just quit so I applied for her job and got it!  I worked there for about 9 months before I quit to do my cosmotology apprenticeship.  When I started the apprenticeship I needed a night job so I worked at Target for three months before there was an evening receptionist opening in Provo.  So I worked in the Adult Outpatient until I was finished with my apprenticeship.  When I finished I really didn't want to leave but I needed a full time job really bad.  Well  Heavenly Father was seriously on my team because as soon as I finished up there was a full time opening in American Fork which was now the American Fork Family Clinic, serving youth and adults.  Now here I am, almost 24 and have been at AFFC for the last 2 1/2 years.   I have made so many good friends in all the different departments I have worked in.  But over the years this clinic in American Fork became my baby and I have seen it grow from a staff of 5 to about 30.  I have made more memories and friends here than I ever thought possible at one job.  I have been so blessed to be a part of this amazing team of therapists, case managers, secretaries, nurses, and doctors!  I can honestly say that I very rarely, if ever, dreaded going into work.  I felt at home and happy when I was there.  AFFC was my second family and helped me grow so much.  These people's job is to make other peoples' lives better, and I will tell you one thing... they made my life so great!  I admire them and look up to them so much and hope they know how much I appreciate them and miss them!
