I became a caregiver because I realized after my grandmother past if she lived with people that truly cared for her she would have lived longer. I wished I spent more time with her and if I had the chance I would all I could to make her comfortable and happy. Unfortunately I met my grandmother when I turned 18, she already was in her last stages of cancer, and very distressed in her living environment. I was always told I was a very patient person with a vibrant soothing nature and I like helping others and if I can help an anyone person in their everyday activities and make them feel comfortable I would be more than happy to help. A personal achievement that I am most proud of is when I made the National Honor Society in college.
