1. I became a caregiver because I enjoy being able to help people. 2. As a caregiver I like knowing that I'm providing the resident in the care facility with the care and respect they deserve. 3. A personal achievement I'm proud of is my experience with a resident in a long term care facility. While I was there during my cna clinical trials I noticed how other cna's around me kept avoiding the constant calls from a certain resident. I learned that they did not like working with her because she wasn't very friendly and she was constantly clicking the call button. I began to answer her calls and when I was with her I listened to her and provided her with the exact things she wanted without only doing some of what she asked for. After my short time with her I noticed that she seemed friendlier and her calls didn't occur as often. 4. I was a US Army paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne. I served for four years and moved to San Diego where I currently am a full time biology student.
