After my experiences through a university housing assistance position, I find myself the type of person that takes pride in helping and assisting people. I like being able to have people feel that they are in a loving environment and that they have a friend. Having people feel that they belong or are cared for is a personal goal that I try to achieve wherever I go. It is a never ending goal and with that in mind, I am willing to do whatever I can to help people in any way that I can. My father has suffered from two strokes roughly 6 years ago, it was a difficult time. I did however learned a lot from it, I know the fears and difficulties of needing a caregiver and that is something that I want to be able to assist in. I have helped my father in meal preparations, medication reminders and preparations, Exercise, assisting him with the restroom and shower, and speech practice. My little brother has a series of mental disabilities, causing him to need constant supervision as well. I learned how to remain calm in crisis situations when he had episodes and when he reacted negatively to medications and to foods.
