A woman, renewing her driver’s license was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is, do you have a job or are you just

course,” the woman responded with a smile, “I have a job. I’m a storyteller.” The clerk, intrigued, looked up from the paperwork. “A storyteller? That’s not something you see every day. What kind of stories do you tell?”

The woman’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she began to share her passion. “I tell all kinds of stories—stories that transport people to different worlds, stories that touch hearts, and stories that make people laugh and cry. I believe in the power of storytelling to connect people and bridge gaps.”

The clerk, now fully engaged, leaned in, eager to hear more. The woman continued, “I’ve been telling stories for as long as I can remember. It started with bedtime tales for my siblings, evolved into storytelling sessions at school, and now, I travel to communities and events, sharing stories that celebrate the human experience.”
