I work with directly with patients and their families this means I truly have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people in a positive way. I have known since I was a child that I wanted to work in a job where I could truly help others and know that I want to enter the health care industry in some way. When I was in high school my grandfather became too sick for our parents to care for him on our own. My family hired a home health agency to provide nursing care for him. Now my grandfather is doing better and I deeply believe a lot of that is because he had such wonderful nurses. I decided to become a CNA because I would like to help others the way those great nurses helped my own grandfather. Also I am vary compassionate with the elderly because both my grandparents raised me so I believe that they deserve respect and dignity.
