I became a caregiver back in 2008. In the city of Wapakoneta, Ohio, where I lived for a year or so. I worked at a place called Wapakoneta Manor (hospice) for 8 month's, I took graveyard in training to be a nurse's assistant. Classes were in the same building where I worked. I love being a caregiver for many reason's, but the one that I relate to the most is helping those who are in need. I enjoy helping and giving to others who smile in appreciation for your service in their hour of need. keeps me balanced. on many level's. Personal Achievement would be the time a patient came in diagnosed with Aids. He had lost both legs, and was in for another amputation to the arm. no other N.A. 's wanted to clean this patient. So I just jumped in and washed him up. Sad though, because he said that I didn't have to, if I'm afraid to. There isn't much left to wash up anyway, he said smiling at me. A part of me felt ashamed of my thought's for being grateful for I'm Aids free. I would like to achieve some certificates along with a degree at some point in my future in this career. I want my son to be proud of me, as much as I am.
