It was 19 yrs ago when my mom dragged me to school w her to learn something new which happen to be Home Health Aide classes. This was back when HHAs needed to be certified w the state of CT. Anyhow make a long story short my 1st day of hands on in clinical I had the hardest resident any newbie would be intimidated by...but not me. The resident actually was wonderful and I handled my very first colostomy bag like I was born to do this kind of work. From there I worked hard and worked my way up to being a CNA and here it is almost 20yrs later and I am still here serving others the sick/disabled...young or elderly no matter what age or how hard the day may be for me I ALWAYS put my head to my pillow with a feeling of satisfaction like I can't explain to anyone. I will continue serving others till the good Lord tells me it's time to stop.
