I became a caregiver because I feel that the older population gets forgotten and I don't think it should be like that they're still part of our society and we should treat them like they matter. I have been working as a caregiver for about two years now I absolutely love it I connect very well with my residence. I am currently going to college to study psychology and I would like to enter a grad program that specializes in Alzheimer's and dementia and senior citizens. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is been able to connect with the resident learn about them and giving them a friend. A personal treatment of mine is being a first generation college student, been wanting to purchase two more than just my bachelors degree in the specific field.
