What is it really like helping kids/teens who need it the most and Is it worth it?

I'm a high school senior and I've always wanted to help people who need it most, and especially kids/teenagers. Ive taken early childhood for 4 years and I'm getting certification in it. I have been interning at an elementary school for 3 years and have worked with Kindergarten and 2nd grade. Taking this course in general has helped me find my passion more for helping kids and my passion for social work. My dream is to get to work with DCF and become a Child Protective Investigator and help kids/teens who need it the most and make sure their safe. Ive been told that this will be a very very hard job and I'm aware of that. I really just want to help these children who need someone on their side. I just want to know is it actually rewarding helping kids/teenagers? I feel it is, but many people have tried to get me to quit saying it won't be.

What are the best classes for me to take for early childhood development?

I am a senior in high school studying early childhood development at Ozark Technical Community College. I also go to a private Christian School in the mornings before that. I love kids and just interacting with them. Now I need to know what to do to get better learning about early childhood development. #kids #Earlychildhood
