I remember one personal achievement when I worked in Rehabilitation there was a patient there who had Guillain-Barre syndrome this is acute inflammation of many nerves and caused the patient to lose all motor and sensory to his lower extremities. This brought a brief of sadness to me as I watched him slowly try to give on life he was a Doctor of Social Work who have a full life with a wife and four beautiful daughter the youngest being the age of three months. I was determined to help him get out of the bed I made sure every day that I was on shift that I would make sure he got up and sit in the Wheelchair. I made sure he attended all his therapy classes (Physical/ Occupational) I also took him to the main dining room so the he could talk with other patients that were there who suffered some kind of disability. By doing this it made him more willing to get up and try again if not for himself for his family. One year later with the help of the whole team he was back on his feet with assist

I became a Caregiver for my Mother when she was ill. It was about ten years I cared for her. I like assisting people that are in need of having a better quality of living and be most comfortable. I get great satisfaction when I can care for someone that deserves better quality of living and care. I decided to get my Nurses Assist and Home Health Aide certification to do my job better. In the past I worked as a Pharmacy Technician and took Healthcare courses to better myself. I enjoy helping other people and learning of whatever it is.
