Sharing the Legacy of Pursuing a Whole Life on Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day
Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is upon us again. I'm looking forward to the time when my son will be old enough to join in the activities (he is only 2 years old), so he can get a little closer to what I do. I want him to see what it is that I do while we are not together and for him to appreciate that it is worthwhile.
While I was growing up, pretty much every day was Take Your Daughter to Work Day. Since I was very young, my mother owned and operated her own business, and, eventually, my dad joined her. She was ahead of her time, with her own in-workplace daycare center, except in our case it was a side office that was converted into a sort of playroom and study hall for me and my three younger siblings. I was intimately familiar with what my parents did for a living, and I am convinced that this exposure from a very early age has been a massive influence in my own career and life choices.
