My mother is 86 years old, she is a 13-year cancer survivor, she battles COPD, she has had many surgeries, that has required her children which includes me to change bandages, at one time she required a colostomy bag that had to be changed, and many trips to ER department for different types of emergencies. I am a conscientious person, I like to have things in order in case of emergencies, this way I would not have to be searching for things that are needed immediately. I am dependable and honest. I have worked with children who are in foster care for over a year, many times my heart hurts for the children who are in situations that they can't help. The children did not ask for the things that are happening to them, and just like the elderly, they are weak and vulnerable in many situations. I want to try and help make a small difference in someone's life. Being a caregiver, the most enjoyable thing to me would be to see someone in my care smile, laugh, or just enjoy the day. To see them not have to worry for at least one day. My personal achievement that I am so proud of is that I'm 60 years old, however, in 2017 I finished college with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. I have always regretted not finishing school, I received my GED in 2005. This makes me proud of who I am, and to know that I did it without having to be told to, I did it because I wanted to do this for myself.
