I think my personality really helps me be a great caregiver because I'm patient, kind, and a good listener. I've always been someone who looks out for others and tries to make people feel comfortable and supported. What attracted me to being a caregiver was the chance to actually make a difference in someone's life, even in small ways. I really enjoy building connections with people and knowing that I can be someone they trust and rely on. One personal achievement I'm proud of is how I managed to balance school and taking care of my younger siblings during a tough time. It wasn't easy, but it helped me become more responsible and showed me that I can handle challenges while still being there for the people who need me.
