I begin to care for my customers when I worked at McDonalds. I fell in love with my regular senior citizen customers. They were a joy and they always complimented me on knowing there order before they got to my register. I also always wanted to do what my mother did in her career. She was a Medical Assistant all my childhood life. It made me want to give excellent care to all especially seniors. That's what made me become a Medical Assistant. My biggest accomplishment was finishing MA school while pregnant. I had a 3.957 GPA in school and enjoyed learning all about caring for others. It was my passion. I am a mother of 3 which one passed away in 2004. She was 12 years old. I then married the love of my life and had another daughter that strangely looks a lot like her sister that passed away. My Medical Assist and Certification has expired due to my youngest daughter being sick and had to stay home and care for her. I also helped my grandfather that had Alzimers and Congestive heart failure. I helped my mom care for him til he passed away. I also cared for my father that had pancreatic cancer, even when he didn't take care of me growing up.
