I became a caregiver because it's what God has chosen me to do. That's why I am going to school for my B.S degree in nursing. The smiles. Knowing that, even if just for a moment, I made someone's pain more tolerable, or day brighter, or life have more meaning, than i have used my God-given gift well. Going back to school after 25 years and doing it successfully. I am a mother of 2, grandmother of 5. I help my sister take care of my mother and i take care of my ex-husband, who has MS. I am a full time student at GCC, pursuing a BS degree in Nursing. I am looking for part-time employment in this field because Homehealth care is my field of choice.
