A Day in the Life

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!

For your story to be eligible, it should be between 600 and 5,000 words and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Stories published on Vocal and entered into the contest up until June 29, 2021, at 11:59 PM EST will be entered for consideration. Official Rules for the Challenge can be found here.
