I became a caregiver because I grew up with my grandparents. When I was 13 my grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. He fought it, but eventually it came around again when I was 16. Things turned to the worst and he was bed rested. I took care of him for 3 years seeing that my grandma couldn't do much and we wanted him home not in a hospital. After he passed, I thought about a career in something I know in love. Helping people who can't help themselves. I love being able to offer companionship. Just talking to someone can brighten their day up. I am mostly proud of being able to put others needs before my own. I was offered a full scholarship ship to the University of Arizona, I didn't take it that year because my grandpa was so sick.
