My name is Tracy Briggs and I am currently going to school to be a registered nurse. Naturally, I am a person who loves to help others and most importantly I understand the frustration of caring for a loved one. My Mother, Sister, and I took care o my grandfather for a year and a half through four major surgeries at the ages of 88-90 years old. The most overwhelming situation was finding someone who you could trust to just do basic things to free up time. Being responsible for someone and their care is exhausting, hard, time-consuming, and overwhelming. At the time I took care of my Grandfather, I was unaware of programs like this. Now that he is in a home, I feel I can give back to a family what I lacked, support. The great thing about this process is it allows me to exercise my personal experiences with my aspiring career. I love people, and I love helping. Though it may only be a couple hours a day. I understand how valuable that time is even though it may be just a couple of hours. Everyday is not the same and some are frustrating, but the joy of seeing progress while allowing someone to be in their home is priceless for the dignity of the client and the sanity of the family. I am most proud of myself for going back to school to pursue something I love, and I am also proud that we were able to nurse my Grandfather back to health where he now has gained his independence back. Many people in this situation just want to be themselves as much as possible, and I believe understanding that is the biggest key to helping them.
