Coworkers

I have absolutely loved the people that I have worked with here at Morningside. CELTS is a good place to work. I thought the work environment was above average when comparing it with other places, but after working at Morningside they definitely take the cake. Every single staff members from the cooks to the nurses to the executive director have been nothing but nice to me and each other during the time that I have been there. Everyone that works there wholeheartedly seems to love their job and the population they're working with. I hope to be a part of such a wonderful workplace again in the future -- even if that means coming back to Morningside to work! Because the staff get along so well, it creates a very nice environment for the residents. There have been times more than once that I along with others have helped to get something done that was "another department's responsibility," but because we were ready and willing to give our helping hands, the experience was exemplar for the residents despite the obstacles involved.

In fact, one of the receptionists gave me a just-because gift today -- a scent warmer with two sets of scent bars. It was so thoughtful of her and something that I've never experienced before. Sure her and I had talked occasionally as I was walking in or out of the building but I never expected such a gracious act. Employees frequently give thanks and praise for a job well done and when extra efforts are made. I've definitely felt needed and appreciated in my position here. I'm grateful to have found such a wonderful placement!

Lastly, I wanted to mention the laid back yet productive atmosphere that I greatly appreciated.  That's something we never experience at Berea. I'm always thinking ahead. What need to be done for tomorrow? For next week? In preparation for next semester or next year? It's extra busy and tiresome most of the time. If all the stress from Berea is going to turn into a full-time career like that, bring it on Berea College! I can take a few more hits before I graduate! ;)
