About this challenge
Finish this sentence: 'I love my job because...'"
Maybe it’s the awesome company culture, meaningful interactions, or daily problem solving that sets your soul on fire (in a good way!). Maybe helping others gives you a sense of purpose and satisfaction. While not everyone has the job of their dreams, there are almost always reasons why you love your job—at least some aspects of it.
For this Challenge, we want to celebrate you and the impact you make in this world! Tell us about your job, what you do, and why it is important. Take a moment to slow down, process, and think about why exactly you love your job. Zero in on the specific reasons that motivate you to go to work each day, and feel free to share images and videos that aid your story!

Sometimes the simplest challenges are the deepest and most revealing. For this challenge we asked you to “unravel the mysteries, joys, and challenges of love through the power of personal storytelling” — we all love, we all feel we know what it means to love. Yet this challenge offered a reminder of the infinite shapes of human connection, and what power love has over us, even in the face of struggle and pain.
