I really love taking care of older people, and I want to be a better person every day because of them. I think they deserve so much love and care, especially because so many older people feel lonely and sad. When I worked in a senior living facility, my heart broke seeing the patients feeling alone and unhappy. Their struggles made me want to be a kinder and more patient person, so I can show them the love and care they truly deserve. I've always had a big heart for loving and caring for elders in need because of the special bond I had with my great-grandmother. She taught me how important it is to show compassion and support to older people, and this has stayed with me. I want to use that love and care to help others who might need it, just like she needed and deserved. I've always loved the idea of being a nurse ever since I was young. When I took care of my great-grandmother, who was a senior, it made me realize how much I enjoy helping and caring for others. Taking care of her sparked my passion for being a caregiver, and it's something I have wanted to do ever since. A personal achievement I'm really proud of is getting both my insurance license and my driver's license. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to complete both, and I'm really happy to have reached these goals. They represent a lot of effort and learning for me, and I'm excited about the opportunities they bring for my future and of course my 2 children who I love very much.
