Although I may seem shy at first, once I get used to my work environment I am very outgoing and will be able to develop an comfortable easy-going relationship with my care recipient. Being able to form this bond with a person who needs care and companionship is what attracts me to this job, it will prepare me for my future career path. This is what I like most about being a caregiver, there aren't many jobs where you are able to create a meaningful connection with who you are working with. A personal achievement that I am proud of is my ability to persevere despite everything that tries to obstruct my path.
