Bear Better: First Salary

I received my first-ever wage during this internship, and it felt like a major milestone. This paycheck wasn’t just a reflection of my efforts, but also a reminder of the impact Bear Better is making in our community. Being part of a company that values inclusion and offers real opportunities for people who face unique challenges has given me a new perspective on the world of work. For me, receiving this wage represents more than just financial independence. It’s a step forward in my personal growth, and it strengthens my belief in the importance of supporting a diverse workforce. As I continue my studies and plan for the future, I’m grateful for the lessons learned here, including hard work, social responsibility, and the power of providing opportunities for everyone. I plan to spend my first wage not on any of my entertainments nor fashion, but on the Life Centered Education (LCE) at our campus that provides educational access to children with disabilities.
