Growing up I was always the one who looked out for everyone and put everyone before myself. I grew up taking care of my siblings and making sure they would be fine. Everybody used to call me the young mom of 5 because I treated and took care of them like they were my own. I've always had a big heart no matter how cruel people were I still tried to help anyway I was able too. I was 18 years old when a close family friend of mines became real sick. Not only did he have diabetes but he also had dementia. He also had limited mobility and i hated to see him struggle so i would always help him do things and run errands for him because he looked like he was always in pain. There was a lot of things I liked about being a Caregiver. I liked the fact that I was able to help people and relive them of a lot of stress and worries. I enjoyed the walks around the block or the parks, just listening to them as they needed someone to talk to and just being there making sure they were safe. One personal achievement I am proud of was finishing high school on time and going back to school to get my nursing degree which I am so close to getting with a little more motivation and patience.
