I think that I have what it takes to be a great caregiver because I love helping people. I have always worked with the public because I enjoy assisting others. It brings me a sense of accomplishment and pride to meet the needs of others. I have spent a considerable amount of time around my grandparents and others older than myself and find them amazing to be around. They are so full of knowledge and much better at board games than myself. I enjoy the smile of someone who enjoys my help and my company. Or when they say "Gee, when are you coming back?" The most personal achievement that I am proud of is when I was aiding my dad in taking care of my mother. She always looked forward to being with me and asked me to do those personal things for her that she didn't want to ask of my father. I miss her terribly and am glad for the time that we had.
