I became a caregiver to put a smile on others faces. I enjoy meeting new people. Everyone has a story to tell and when I spend time caring for others I get a sense of peace knowing that I did something to help someone else. I learn about the individuals that I care for and I must say that it is a breath of fresh air. I also get the opportunity to learn a lot of different medical ways of taking care of someone. I have gotten the opportunity to learn how to care for individuals with mental diseases as well as those that are more stubborn to deal with and I must say that I enjoy it. When I get to be the one to change their sad day into one filled with laughter and conversation with my bubbly personality, it puts a smile on my face. I can say I make a difference in the world and it feels really good.
