I believe what makes me a good caregiver is the experience I have acquired from my current job. I've learned individuals with an intellectual disability just require alot of patience and overall good companionship. With good patience and compassion , these individuals become like ones own family and I believe that is a key trait to be a great caregiver. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver at first was it had a great schedule for my schooling . Very quickly though I noticed I genuinely enjoyed servicing the better of ones quality of living. I'm not afraid to do necessary tasks most people wouldn't do and I think thats why I like my job. What I mostly like about being a caregiver is learning along with the person you're caring for. Just like how I'm learning how this individual thinks and acts , they also learn my own mannerisms. With that we both learn each day and build a trust with each other that makes the working environment very fruitful. A personal achievement I am proud is taking the initiative to better my mental state . I once was very down and each day going down a hole. I took a solo trip to Korea and went out to get lost to find my purpose again. Through these travels I gained motivation and ambition to seek betterment for myself. I came back from that trip happier and just full of energy to take on life head on. It may not be an achievement that came with a trophy but for me this personal achievement of picking myself up has also been my greatest accomplishment.
