After my military service I wanted to continue feeling pride in my work, caregiving gives me a sense pride, meaning and allows me to cherish what I am giving every morning I wake up. Caregiving offers an opportunity to meet interesting people, with history and wisdom I wouldn't ordinarily be able to learn from. I spent 7 years enlisted in the United States Navy, 4 of which I was working for the Marine Corps as a medic. I cherish every day I was enlisted, no one can take that away.
