As a teen my mom worked at a group home for mentally disabled adults and I would see first hand the pure joy that she brought to the residents from the daily activities, parties, and outings. I believe that's what made me fall in love with caregiving. I went on to work at the same facility as my mom and it wasn't just work for me, I shared a genuine bond with each resident that I'll cherish forever. I'm personally proud of being a caregiver/med technician because it helped my interest in medicine go further then just dispensing meds. I wanted to know what they do and why that's why I went on to become a Pharmacy Tech. Now I'm trying to combine the two things I love doing most.
